Domaine Faiveley Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Les Cazetiers 2022

blackberry and blackcurrant fruit intermixed with creosote

in addition to the unmistakable scent of black truffles/licorice

like many of these 2013s

The potentially perfect 1994 Cabernet Sauvignon is a totally dry wine

12% Cabernet Franc and 9% Petit Verdot shows notes of burning embers/charcoal

This promising effort appears to have more than enough density to eventually absorb the wood treatment

with sweet melted tannins nicely integrated

with a toasty profile to the peach

There is a velvety and highly seductive character to the wonderfully rich and generous middle weight flavors that also brim with palate coating dry extract before culminating in a seriously long anise-infused finish

This superb wine does a slow build from the mid-palate on back to the massively deep finale

serious and youthfully austere finale

19% Merlot
