50% Cabernet Sauvignon

Even inkier in color than the 2010

Linear and persistent on the finish

with its dark fruit and mineral flavors complicated by subtle spices

Joseph Drouhin, Gevrey Chambertin Cazetiers other_regions 50% Cabernet SauvignonOnce again there is a hint of reduction that isnt enough to overshadow the ripe aromas of spice, earth and wood but it does reduce their expressiveness. The mouth feel of the medium weight flavors is unusually refined in the context of what is typical for Cazetiers, indeed its even elegant though the supporting structure is quite firm. This is really quite pretty and offers fine quality though I wouldnt describe it as a typical example. 92 2028+
