This was super tight and austere, still so enjoyable but will need more time for sure. The stems were pretty dominant but while the fruit was being quite shy. A beautiful wine that is about its structure and aromatics more than its fruit.

Oct 19th, 20192008 vintage in magnum. Medium ruby turning slightly tawny on the rim. Red fruit profile - crushed strawberry and raspberry. Some floral notes. Oak present. Good depth. Gevry like concentration and power, with elegance and perfume of Chambolle. Perfect blend to create a lovely St Denis. Medium tannin - bit of grip. Great wine. NB: another affirmation that 2008 is a burgundy lovers vintage - just don't tell anyone else!
