Score 91/100 · Drink 2008-2015, Pierre Rovani, Jun 2004

An outstanding wine, the cassis liqueur and blackberry jam-scented 2002 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaux St.-Jacques reveals a medium-bodied personality crammed with syrupy black cherries, crisp red currants, and spices. Exhibiting admirable depth and an excellent structure, this appears to be the style of wine that will close down for a few years before roaring back. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2015. Importer: Vineyard Brands, Birmingham, AL; tel. (205) 980-8802. Readers should note that Vincent Girardin also bottles some of these same wines under the Baron de la Charriere label, imported by Eric Solomon (European Cellars, Charlotte, NC; tel. 704-358-1565)

Score 90-93/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Mar 2004

Bright ruby. Blackberry, mint, violet, smoky oak and a peppery nuance on the perfumed nose. Juicy, pure and sharply delineated, with lively acidity and strong soil tones. Finishes with serious but fine tannins and excellent length. This was 12.9% potential alcohol, compared to 13% to 13.5% for the grand crus.

Scented and rich. Lively and confident. Racy. Well balanced. A bit of a hole in the middle. (JR)
