Tasting Notes

Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Oct 23
The 2013 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Saint-Jacques 1er Cru needs a bit of encouragement on the nose that is quite sullen and later almost reluctantly springs scents of blackcurrant, allspice and light iris flower. The palate is well-balanced with slightly chewy tannins. There is a taut line of acidity, and the palate is structured with perhaps some sinew on the finish. Not so much in the way of finesse here, though plenty of matière.
