  • 1998 Sylvie Esmonin (Michel et Fille) Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos St. Jacques - France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru (7/8/2009)
    Lovely fragrant and stylish nose.Medium bodied. This has very good red fruit but is beautifully soft and elegant.Has the structure to last a few more years but I suspect it is at or near its best right now.Has just lovely concentration and is ample and rich. Now on the second glass it is getting quite mellow but with a long finish and is an excellent wine.Especially pleased as this was a very recent purchase from Strakers at a bargain price of £25 a bottle.Looks like I shall polish off the bottle tonight whilst watching Le Tour!! (90 pts.)
