(92-94) Very deep ruby color. Once again there is enough reduction to mask the underlying fruit though in this case it does not extend to the palate. There is superb richness to the broad-shouldered flavors that brim with sappy dry extract that imparts a wonderful velvety texture on the very backward and very firmly structured finish that makes it abundantly clear that this is going to require extended cellaring before it reaches it full apogee. This too is potentially excellent.

A rich purple colour, dense bouquet of sumptuous ripe fruit, charm to the forefront. The wood gives quite a firm edge to it however and adds a drier note, that the wealth of fruit will easily cope with in the long run. Very slight spritz. Dark cherries and chocolate. Tasted: September 2019.

Healthy dark red. Sexy purple fruits and violet complicated by licorice and sexy oak spices on the vibrant nose and palate. The sweetest of these young 2016s but with excellent firming acidity and underlying structure too. Very fine-grained but a bit youthfully imploded, showing noteworthy tautness and tension for this wine, which is typically silkier and easier to taste early on than the Cazetiers. Not at all an earthy style of Gevrey, this is all about sappy purple fruits and spices. A bit youthfully compact but very promising, even if the Cazetiers is a bit longer today.- ST
