Faiveley Latricieres Chambertin Grand Cru - 2002 (750ml) Size:750ml with still some mouth-searing tannin

with still some mouth-searing tannin to shed

The finish is long and lingering

a result of the expert blending and careful maturation process

and mint chocolate-chip ice cream

I have to confess that I was concerned by the conspicuous nature of the new oak on both their negociant label wines and the entry Village Crus

Faiveley Latricieres Chambertin Grand Cru - 2002 (750ml) Size:750ml with still some mouth-searing tannin(2002 vintage) "Cinnamon, spice, black cherry and strawberry jam make for an inviting nose with orange peel, five spice, and licorice and vanilla aromas. Ripe, round, dry and slightly tannic it offers waxy, peppery, cherry jam, rootsy, vanilla, smoky flavours. Very good concentration and elegance all with fine fruit throughout. Should improve in the bottle even more over the next 7 10 years. (Anthony Gismondi and Stuart Tobe)." Gismondi on Wine
