The 2000 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru has a gorgeous nose and flavor profile of red cherries, spices, as well as cassis liqueur. It boasts impressive density, depth, and concentration. Its copious fruit is marred, however, by an edgy, firm tannic backbone that verges on being astringent. Drink it over the next 4 years. Importer: Martine’s Wines, San Raphael, CA; tel. (415) 883-0400
