Verkostungsnotizen
Vinous 94
The 1989 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos St.-Jacques 1er Cru has an exquisite nose of morello cherries and cranberry and hints of bergamot and wild mint, perhaps surprisingly missing the precision of the 1990, but improving in the glass. The palate is sweet and fleshy, with layers of red cherry and strawberry, perfect acidity and nuanced allspice notes. It coalesces marvelously with every swirl of the glass, though it never catches up with the 1990.
