Score 92-93/100 · Drink 2006, Pierre Rovani, Oct 1999

The dark ruby-colored 1997 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaux St. Jacques displays a nose reminiscent of a compote of black fruits and fresh herbs. It explodes on the palate with plummy fruit, a satin texture, and an ample body. Luscious and rich, it verges on being over-ripe, yet has a flattering streak of freshness to its personality. Projected maturity: now-2006. Importer: Robert Kacher Selections, Washington, DC; (202) 832-9083.

Deep ruby-red. More reduced black fruit nose hints at game. Great material and density; sweet and fat but currently a bit more rustic and compact than the above. Superripe without betraying any raisiny character. Outstanding persistence; ripe tannins are thoroughly covered by fruit.
