Note di degustazione
Wonderfully rich aromas of roasted coffee, black cherries and kirsch. Fruit flavours on the palate are raspberry and cherry, with a hint of savoury development. Acidity is bright and fresh, tannins firm and ripe. The length is good, with a touch of sweet dessert apple. This is lovely young wine, with a good future ahead of it. (CM)

Readers fortunate enough to have bottles of the 1990 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos St. Jacques squirreled away in their cellars will be ecstatic to learn that Lardiere hit another home-run with the 1997. Harvested at a whopping 13.8% natural potential alcohol, this stunning, dark ruby-colored wine displays mouth-watering, blackberry, smoked bacon, and stone-like aromas. This full-bodied, hugely dense, powerful, and highly expressive offering is jam-packed with licorice, mint, eucalyptus, and cherry syrup. Impeccably balanced, opulent, forward, yet restrained and exceptionally well-structured, this massive, refined wine will provide exceptional drinking over the course of the next 12+ years. Importer: Kobrand, Inc., New York, NY; (212) 490-9300.

Louis Jadot is arguably the most consistent négociant house in Burgundy. It has managed to straddle both the entry-level and fine wine market, while retaining respect in both.
