"Here the wood is more apparent with a hint of menthol though neither are so much to impinge on the attractiveness of the ripe black cherry, smoked game and overtly floral-scented nose. The rich, generous and more concentrated medium weight flavors that exude a subtle minerality on the serious, youthfully austere and built-to-age finale. This is also very good for its level and worth considering."

"Another rich deep purple. The barrel toast speaks quite loudly on the nose. There is a weight of fruit here that appeals, more density through the middle, dark raspberry with a tarry touch, but the whole flows evenly across the palate."
Vinous, 90-92 Points
"The 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes contains around 60% whole bunches this year and was raised in 50% new oak. At the moment, the wood feels a little present on the aromatics, though that will be subsumed with bottle age. There’s good fruit intensity: black cherries, bilberry and light raspberry scents. The medium-bodied palate has slightly grainy tannins on the entry, moderate depth, and a dab of licorice, lending a little complexity toward the finish. Somehow, I am drawn as much to the Village Cru this year."
