Description

2016 Gevrey-Chambertin, Clos Saint-Jacques, 1er Cru, Domaine Sylvie Esmonin, BurgundyA pungent nose is composed today of wood toast and slightly reduction so be sure to decant this if you can't resist opening a bottle. Otherwise there is excellent precision to the rich, intense and mineral driven flavors that are shaped by firm but ripe tannins and outstanding length on the linear and driving finish. This is a markedly ripe and quite powerful 2016 that is going to need plenty of cellar time. 92 100, Alan Meadows, Burghound (January

akin to the slow retreat of tides on Bowmore beach

this historic estate created a stylish wine in 2014

Initially the nose is a little closed

The palate is medium-bodied with tensile tannin

bringing a savoury edge

honey and licorice initially

Spice notes hover around with anise

this Tomatin shows an impeccable sweetness whilst highlighting the charming soft fruitiness I admire them for

before settling and delivering some caramelised elements

The palate has an enticing mouthfeel

with tannins that are just beginning to allow the fruit to emerge

Enjoy with cod slow-cooked in butter
