1998 Gevrey Chambertin Poissenots

The medium to dark ruby-colored 1998 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Poissenots has floral, blackberry, violet, and licorice aromas. Medium to full-bodied, oily-textured, and dense, this wine has outstanding richness, as well as layer after layer of dark fruits. The vintage's characteristic hardness is discernible underneath this offering's luscious black raspberries and cherries. Drink it over the next 5 years.
