Tasting Notes

90-92
Vinous Antonio Galloni - 01 Jan 14
The 2012 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaut-Saint-Jacques is endowed with lovely depth. Here the flavors are round, layered and beautifully expressive. Dark red cherry, plum, smoke and new leather all flesh out in a resonant Gevrey with plenty of potential to develop nicely in bottle.
