Vinous Neal Martin - 17 Jan 24
The 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Evocelles, which was impacted by hail in this vintage and the previous one. It reflects that on the nose, which is not fatigued but doesn't convey the same sense of energy as other cuvées. The palate is what you might call a bit "bony," i.e., it needs a little more flesh on the finish. It's not bad, but a Premier Cru needs some recovery time.
