Tasting Viña El Pisón 1998 twenty years on is a firm reminder that far too many wines are drunk too young

In the same fashion the balance isn’t quite perfect

the 2018 Chardonnay Horseshoe Vineyard is positively stunning

warm earth and a slightly gamy character

red pinot and a hint of tea

Joseph Drouhin, Gevrey Chambertin other_regions Tasting Viña El Pisón 1998(25 to 30% of the blend is from declassified 1ers). A ripe yet reasonably cool nose speaks of both red and dark berries along with plenty of forest floor and sauvage suggestions. I very much like the texture of the well detailed medium bodied flavors that exude a subtle minerality on the youthfully austere and solidly complex finale. This persistent effort is a fine Gevrey villages.
