Despite the elevated ripeness displayed by the nose the palate impression of the attractively textured and concentrated flavors is quite cool and reserved

the 2004 needs a bit of air to soften the tannins a touch

Humbert Freres, Gevrey Chambertin Estournelles St Jacques other_regions_italy Despite the elevated ripeness displayed(from 60+ year old vines). There is a bit of wood spice that shows through the red cherry liqueur and wet stone dominated nose that complements well the detailed, intense and driving middle weight flavors that display ample freshness as well as impressive precision and tension on the primary but balanced and solidly lingering finish. This possesses the best mid palate density and extract of these 1ers. Lovely. 92 2018+
