Tasting notes
Only mid depth of ruby with a wide pale rim – just very slightly more orange than the 2000. Depth, nuance and sheer vitality on the nose. Wonderful richness and completeness on the palate. For the first time in this backwards vertical we have real substance and some development. This is pretty serious stuff, certainly not relying on simple sweet fruit. Dances and deliberates too. Great balance. Dry finish. (JR)

Moderate ruby/garnet colour with hint of tawny on the rim. The nose is quite attractive: not complex with notes of raspberry, strawberry and a touch of eucalyptus. A masculine, quite tannic palate, racy acidity with notes of raspberry, strawberry, a little peppery, perhaps more farmyardy. Good length an grip, lingers in the mouth longer than others, though lacking the elegance of Clos St. Jacques.
The 1999 Gevrey-Chambertin Cazetiers has stony, berry-like fruit scents. Medium-bodied, firm, and foursquare, it reveals copious quantities of blackberries, cassis, and plums in its tannic (yet beautifully ripe) character.
