Stunning forest-berry nose! So beautifully balanced, in spite of the almost opulent ripeness and the huge, fine tannins. Great drive and energy on the very focused palate that heads off into the far distance under full sail. Enormous mineral freshness at the exceptionally long finish. Drinkable now, but best from 2024.
Slightly more subtle, though still moderately prominent, wood sets off the very spicy, cool and elegant aromas that consist mostly of red and dark currant and iron-inflected earth. There is very good volume and verve suffusing the refined and classy middle weight flavors that brim with minerality and dry extract where the latter helps to buffer the very firm tannic spine shaping the compact, powerful and strikingly long finale. This excellent effort will likely need a minimum of 10 years before it can be reasonably approached and should reward up to 20 years of keeping.
The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos Saint-Jacques (Domaine Louis Jadot) is very promising, wafting from the glass with aromas of raspberries, cherries, warm spices, candied peel, rose petals and smoke. Medium to full-bodied, layered and muscular, with serious concentration and rich reserves of ripe, powdery tannin, it concludes with a bright, precise finish.
Medium deep red with some plummy notes. There is a depth to the fruit here though, with a plumpness to it that is really pleasing, before the more nuanced style of Clos St-Jacques begins to emerge. Tasted: October 2020
Vibrant ruby colour. Deep, spicy and full on the nose, fragrant but also brooding - really excellent. The palate is full and soft on entry, revealing a myriad red and black fruit. Clarity of structure, with pristine and ripe tannins perfectly and fully framing the intense fruit. This mouthcoating depth persists through to a very long and complex finish that broadens with time. Chalky, and very long, this will need time but has excellent balance.
