This Gevrey-Chambertin 'La Justice' 2004 presents a deep red color. The nose offers powerful cherry notes, a distinct red cherry character, and earthy undertones, with spicy nuances. Some tasters have also detected hints of strawberry jam or rhubarb, and a subtle green herb note. On the palate, it is full and velvety, yet finely structured, displaying good balance and a persistent finish that echoes the initial fruity notes. Over time, it can evolve to reveal more animalistic notes like musk and fur. It possesses good acidity and elegance. 【A decent and still alive Gevrey-Chambertin from a mediocre 2004 vintage, showing good acidity and pleasant tannins.】 🍴 Serve this wine at 15-16°C.
