(BH92-95 points) Like the Corbeaux an ultra-fresh array of beautifully complex, layered and airy aromas is comprised by notes of cassis, black cherry, violet, spice and a plethora of sauvage nuances. There is excellent volume and intensity to the intensely mineral-infused medium weight plus flavors that deliver an explosively long and powerful finish. This compact and built-to-age effort is going to need 20 to 25 years to fully shed its considerable tannic shell. Patience, and lots of it, will absolutely be required.

(WA90-92 points) The 2014 Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux St Jacques, which includes around 85% whole cluster fruit and is aged entirely in new wood, has a very floral violet-infused, cassis-scented bouquet. The palate is full-bodied with grainy, slightly furry tannin. There is a lot of weight in the mouth, although the acidity cuts through it, and the wine shows a touch of earthiness towards the finish. It will need several years in bottle. - Neal Martin
