The 1998 is one for the more patient amongst readers

with an elegantly textural attack and a creamy core of fruit that's underpinned by a bright but nicely integrated spine of acidity

Scents of dried cherry

menthol and licorice

sturdy tannins supporting the generous herb-laced black fruit preserves

Tortochot, Gevrey Chambertin Lavaut St Jacques Vintage:2016 The 1998 is one for(from a . 64 ha parcel). A super fresh and markedly sauvage inflected nose offers very cool array of red and dark berries where hints of herbal tea, forest floor and game add breadth. The rich and relatively full bodied flavors possess excellent complexity as well as focused power on the compact and youthfully austere yet impressive persistent finale. This mineral driven effort is a classic LSJ.
