Humbert Freres, Gevrey Chambertin Poissenot Size:12x750ml The searing tannin and backward

The searing tannin and backward expression are reminiscent of a Serralunga Barolo

it doesn t quite have the level of fleshiness and depth that is found in so many wines from Bolgheri in 2006

but it is not mature

its made from a single vineyard planted in the Santa Cruz Mountains at 730m above sea level and just 15 miles from the Pacific ocean

Humbert Freres, Gevrey Chambertin Poissenot Size:12x750ml The searing tannin and backward(from 20 to 25 year old vines). An extremely fresh and bright red fruit and mineral inflected nose complements to perfection the clean, detailed and superbly energetic medium full flavors that culminate in a sappy, serious, firm and equally explosive finish that is driving and linear in character. This is a sophisticated effort in both its understatement and purity. Highly recommended. 92 2014+
