Gevrey Chambertin, Combe aux Moines, 1er Cru, Fourrier [Loose], 2005

Good full red. Explosive aromas of red fruits, musky game and animal fur. Round, fresh and suave, with compelling sweetness of fruit and density of texture. For all its richness, this is impressively pure and fresh. Finishes with terrific juicy lift. It's hard to imagine that most of these 2005s won't shut down in the bottle at some point, but today most of them are all about sex appeal.
