Tasting Notes
Vinous 89-92
Medium-deep red. Berries, flowers and game on the ripe nose. Suave and minerally in the mouth; a serious, structured, firmly tannic wine with very good length and spicy complexity. (The Combe aux Moines was impressively primary and minerally but disjointed at the time of my visit and in need of a racking.)
Robert Parker 90
Medium to full-bodied and displaying a nose of spicy dark fruits, bing cherries, and toast, the 2002 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaux- St.-Jacques is a juicy, rich wine. Loads of blackberries, smoky cassis, meat, and hints of leather can be found in its complex personality. Projected maturity: 2007-2015. Importer: Kobrand, Inc., New York, NY; tel. (212) 490-9300
Anticipated maturity: 2007-2015
