2012 Red Wine from Gevrey Chambertin

Vinous, 90 points: Bright medium red. Musky redcurrant and plum aromas are complicated by game and leather nuances. Sweet and fine-grained, offering rich flavors of red and purple fruits. This elegant, concentrated village wine is already...

Vinous, 94 points: (AG92-94 points) Dugat-Py's 2012 Gevrey-Chambertin Cœur du Roy emerges from parcels ranging from 50-103 years of age. Dark cherry, plum, smoke, licorice and black olive are rich and explosive on the palate, The 2012 is...

Burghound, 95 points: (BH92-95 points) A pure and manifestly earthy and sauvage nose offers up notes of red and dark currant, humus and underbrush. There is excellent volume and mid-palate density to the beautifully delineated medium weight...

Vinous, 91 points: Good bright, dark red. Very ripe aromas and flavors of raspberry, coffee and smoked meat. Sweet, silky and highly concentrated, with ripeness bordering on roasted. Finishes fat, rich and persistent. Will this bring enough...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: (WA92-94 points) From 65 to 70-year old vines towards Brochon and aged in 30% new oak, the 2012 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes has a very perfumed, floral bouquet with hints of wilted violet petals and dried quince...
