Produced from over 70-year-old vines, the medium to dark ruby-colored 1998 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Evocelles exhibits sweet cherry, blackberry, and blueberry aromas. Medium to full-bodied, thick, and inky, this extremely dense, super-concentrated, and intense wine is crammed with powerful black fruit flavors, intermingled with toasted oak. While it does possess the vintage's characteristic tannic backbone, it is, at present, covered in fruit. Projected maturity: now-2006.
