2012 Domaine Serafin Père & Fils Gevrey-Chambertin Les Corbeaux 1er Cru

Good bright red. Red berries, coffee, mocha, game and sweet oak on the nose. Dense and oaky, showing a serious tannic structure and excellent density but a bit less fruit sweetness than the old-vines village wine. Just this side of heavy. The crop level here was healthy in 2012, noted Serafin.
