this seems quite closed today

though it perhaps does not possess the amplitude of the previous vintage

Revisited from the July 2019 disgorgement

the Reynard

Sylvie Esmonin, Gevrey Chambertin Vv other_regions_australia this seems quite closed today(75+ year old vines aged in 50% new oak and 50% in one year old oak; 70% whole cluster). There is excellent freshness to the distinctly earthy and sauvage red and dark berry fruit aromas that display floral top notes and a hint of spice. There is outstanding richness, intensity and volume to the solidly well concentrated flavors that possess plenty of mouth coating dry extract that imparts a velvety texture to the balanced and mildly austere finish.
