Medium red. Full-blown aromas of coffee, mocha and game. Less fruity than the basic village wine but dense, sweet and nicely fresh, with a deep middle and plenty of medicinal reserve. Finishes with substantial dusty tannins and persistent notes of chocolate, coffee and underbrush.
Serafin's 2009 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes (from 60+-year-old vines) shows gorgeous intensity in its plump, fragrant fruit. The aromatic intensity carries through nicely to the long, impressive finish. This is a beautifully crafted wine.
