The 1996 Gevrey-Chambertin Cuvee de l'Abeille (originally rated 85-87 in Issue #118) has a ruby color as well as an orange-rind and clay-scented nose with hints of black cherries. It is light-to-medium-bodied, has briary flavors, is lacking in fruit, and is drying out in the finish. If readers own this wine they are well-advised to drink it up as soon as possible.
