* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A ripe, juicy wine, one that has a good balance between new wood, acidity and fresh red fruit flavors. Its dry tannins suggest aging potential. It’s a good, solid wine, already delicious but will develop well. Imported by Veritas Wines.

This solid, dark wine with dominant tannins is impressive. It has a great, firm structure, while its fruit is sweet yet balanced with good acidity. It is not huge or powerful, it’s more elegant and refined. Imported by Becky Wasserman Selections.

Soft, ripe wine, packed with berry fruits and red cherries. The structure is less impressive; this is for those who want a waft of Pinot Noir juiciness.

With crushed strawberry and caramel flavors, this is relatively light wine, though elegant and pierced with acidity. Milk chocolate and soft tannins complete an attractive ensemble.

The wine is ripe for the year, with some structural tannins followed by acidity and sweet, juicy berry fruits. It has a lightness of touch, the fruit floating over the structure.

For a Gevrey, this wine emphasizes softness rather than structure. It does have good depth of flavor and is full of acidity and red berry fruits. The wine offers pleasure now, while having medium-term aging potential.

Very structured, dense wine, while also reveling in its ripe red fruits and bright acidity. The tannins are well integrated already into the fruit. Keep for 2–3 years.

With smoky aromas and strict tannins, this is initially an austere wine. The fruit remains firm and tight, very powerful, while the final acidity gives a delicious, more juicy finale.

An impressively powerful wine, with packed acidity, sweet fruits and ripe tannins. The wine has great density, a dusty texture, the fruit powering through while preserving the relative austerity of the vintage.
