Tasting Notes

91
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Mar 05
Bright, deep red. Musky aromas of black cherry and licorice. Sweet, chewy and lush; a big wine but conveys an impression of lower acidity than most of Mortet's examples from Gevrey-Chambertin. This is completely different in shape from most of the foregoing samples. Finishes broad and tannic. From a hot spot in this vast grand cru: the vines on rocky but deep soil are located just below the Chateau de la Tour and are protected from north winds by the village of Vougeot.
