LeClerc Gevrey-Chambertin 1996. Clean nose of animal and fruit. In the mouth it's a Village with a great middle and tight, yet expansive fruit flavors. Complex and bound up in it's lean fruit. Needs time, obviously, to mellow out and spread its wings.
Cold maceration helps the extraction of dark red fruits, good grip and acidity.
Seductive, fruity nose with a hint of game. Not as fruity in the nmouth as it is on the nose. Give it 5-7 in the cellar to let it find its perfect balance. Porter Creek 1997. Smells of wet earth, red berries.
