Another bottle from the man and his horse. A good wine, but it suffers in comparison to the wines of the last evenings…
2005 Olivier Guyot, Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Champeaux
Deep colour, some purple at the rim. After the two wines of Marchand-Grillot in the last nights, the nose is a little more diffuse with oak influenced coffee notes over an espresso depth. In the mouth this is intense and shows lovely acid balance and quite some extension into the finish. The flavours reflect the nose in that they are a little diffuse and oak dominated – no oak texture, but plenty of toasty coffee. Today this is more than a nose behind the M-G wines but I suspect will be much more together in a year or two. I’m undecided on this, hence the rating.
Rebuy – Maybe
