2016 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Saint-Jacques 1er Cru Domaine Sylvie Es...

A pungent nose is composed today of wood toast and slightly reduction so be sure to decant this if you can't resist opening a bottle. Otherwise there is excellent precision to the rich, intense and mineral-driven flavors that are shaped by firm but ripe tannins and outstanding length on the linear and driving finish. This is a markedly ripe and quite powerful 2016 that is going to need plenty of cellar time.
