Score 88-89/100 · Pierre Rovani, Aug 1998
This black-colored wine has complex aromas of earth, cassis-liqueur, and beef blood. This big, broad, ample, medium-to-full-bodied, and expressive wine displays layer upon layer of candied black cherries, cassis, and spiced oak in its flavor profile. However, I am concerned because of the preponderance of dry, oaky tannins in this potentially outstanding wine's finish. Importer: Martine's Wines, Inc., San Rafael, CA; tel (415) 485-1800.

About the producer

Domaine Denis Mortet
This estate, today with Arnaud Mortet at the helm, makes some of Gevrey-Chambertin’s finest wines. Working with 16 hectares, as well as a few négociant parcels, this property makes perfumed and chiselled Pinot Noir.
