Had a few bottles of this, and despite trying to steer clear of 05, I didn’t tonight. No previous experience with either Gallois or Goulots, but this is a very fine wine moving into a more mature phase. There’s plenty of 05 acidity, but the structure is starting to harmonize into something more lacy and delicate.
The fruit aromas are starting to take on the complex, melted confit notes that come from age instead of ripeness. Red and black cherry, and red raspberry.
This screams Gevrey in the mouth. There was probably youthful sweetness here, but time has given this an exciting, meaty, gamey, savory note. There’s good, lush fruit, but it’s the meat, smoke and spice notes that really shine. Very open for business now. Not fully mature.
