"Smoke, resin, fresh cherry (and its spirituous kirsch sidekick), rose hip, and heightened floral perfume suggestive of the inclusion of stems in the fermentor strikingly mark the nose of Laurent's 2006 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Cazetiers Vieilles Vignes. This marries bright red fruit concentration to an amazing intensity of crushed stone and iodine mineral elements on a palate of dense but refined tannins, and finishes with a multi-leveled, dynamic extravaganza of floral, animal, mineral, and berry flavors."
