Note di degustazione
Deep crimson. Rich classic Gevrey with quite explosive bitter cherry fruit, lots of rich texture and great balance. Positively spicy and with a way to go. (JR)

Towards the end of lunch we are in the mood for a red, so I ask Sohm to pick something out. He chooses Lignier's 1999 Gevrey-Chambertin. I wish I could convey just how gorgeous the wine is. Remarkably fresh and vibrant, the 1999 bursts from the glass with the sweetest dark cherries, hard candy and flowers. At fourteen years of age, the 1999 is just beginning to peak and shows no signs of fading whatsoever. This is a villages? I could drink the whole bottle myself, to be honest. What a wine! And that is why Sohm is one of the world's best. He knows exactly what to pick for the occasion and guest.
Black cherry, coffee, minerals and smoky oak on the nose. Good volume and ripeness; offers lovely sweetness on entry, then turns more austere on the back half, finishing with substantial dusty tannins.
