Tasting Notes

Good full red. Aromas of coffee, chocolate, minerals and gingerbread. Dense and sweet but a bit folded in on itself, with superconcentrated, thick flavors of cherry, minerals and menthol. Quite suave, even if it's much less expressive today than the Estournelles. Communicates strong soil character and finishes with firm tannins and noteworthy persistence. This, too, calls for patience.

Score: 92

Stephen Tanzer, Vinous.com 01 March 2006

Earthy, spicy black fruit scents are found in the 2003 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos St.-Jacques. Highly structured and deep, this medium to full-bodied wine offers complex flavors of stony black fruits, fresh earth, blackberries, and dark cherries. Demanding patience, its tannic (yet ripe) character coats the palate, lingering for 45 seconds or more.

Score: 92

Interestingly, this is also quite ripe but not necessarily any more elegant though there is perhaps slightly better depth of material and certainly better overall purity of expression and intensity, especially on the superbly long, firm and punchy backend. While this is not classic in style, there is so much explosive energy and verve that this may very well surprise to the upside with time in bottle.

Score: 90 - 92
