Gevrey Chambertin, Lavaux St Jacques, 1er Cru [SHC], 2002

Bright, full ruby-red. Pure, penetrating aromas of blackberry, violet, minerals and dark chocolate. Juicy, minerally and tightly wound, with a youthfully imploded core of dark fruits. Kept firm by an edge of acidity. Best today on the very long, subtle back end. This needs a good seven or eight years of cellaring.
