2016 Gevrey Chambertin Cazetiers

Good full red. Wild, slightly reduced aromas of black raspberry and game. Wonderfully fat, sweet and fine-grained, conveying terrific depth as well as saline energy to its plush flavors of dark raspberry, smoke, chocolate and spices. Ultimately less sauvage and more classy than the Lavaux Saint-Jacques, and perhaps fuller too. This surprisingly refined Gevrey premier cru finishes with suave tannins and sneaky length.
