2011 Maison Lucien Le Moine Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaut St. Jacques

Vinous Media (VM)

Medium red. Musky strawberry, cherry, leather and a whiff of animal fur on the nose. Rich, round and voluminous without coming off as weighty, showing sappy red berry flavors with a complicating leathery nuance. Combines attractive sweetness with spicy firming acidity. Finishes with a broad dusting of tannins and subtle savory persistence. -- Stephen Tanzer
