"Laurent's top 1993s are massively concentrated, huge, intense wines that will require 8-10 years of cellaring. The Gevrey-Chambertin Estournelles St.-Jacques is an opaque purple-colored wine with admirable fruit extraction, spicy new oak, and an overall impression of overwhelming intensity, huge body, and gigantic tannin. This monster Pinot Noir will need 5-7 years of cellaring. This is a 20+ year wine. The Gevrey-Chambertin Estournelles St.-Jacques, Gevrey-Chambertin Poissenots, Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaux St.-Jacques, Ruchottes-Chambertin, Mazis-Chambertin, and Chambertin are all immensely structured, over-sized 1993 red Burgundies that will require considerable patience. Keep in mind that Laurent bottles unfined and unfiltered, so these wines are totally natural expressions of their vineyards, unmanipulated and uncompromised save for Laurent's peculiar elevage of jumping from new oak back to old oak, to new oak again, depending on a particular wine's evolution."
