quince and white currants

Remarkably approachable for such a young wine

serious and powerful broad-shouldered flavors flash plenty of minerality on the chiseled

The wine is closed for now

The wine's freshness is still apparent so that the balance with maturity is just right

Jacques Prieur, Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Size:6x750ml quince and white currants(from young Chambertin vines planted in 1995). Once again, the nose is very ripe with its combination of wood, menthol, mocha and liqueur like aromas of plum and black cherry. There is reasonably good verve to the delicious middle weight flavors that terminate in a warm, grippy and slightly drying finish. This awkward effort is tough to read though I am concerned about the balance over the longer term.
