2013 Jacques Prieur Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru

Once again a notably ripe nose is composed of liqueur-like aromas that include plum, cassis, spice and cool sauvage nuances. The supple and seductively textured medium weight flavors possess a lovely sense of underlying tension and good minerality that continues onto the mildly austere, persistent and well-balanced finale. This too should be approachable young if you don’t have the patience to wait the 8 to 10 years that will be necessary for the tannins to resolve. 90-92 points Allen Meadows Burghound
