Produced from 50-94 year old vines, the cassis, blackberry, licorice, and tar-scented 2002 Gevrey-Chambertin Coeur de Roy is a huge, deep wine of immense concentration. Asian spices, cassis liqueur, black berries, earth, and dark cherries vie for the taster’s attention in this thick, pure, well-balanced effort’s flavor profile. Notes of new oak come to the fore in its prolonged, ripe, polished finish. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2015. Importer: Weygandt-Metzler, Peter Weygandt, Unionville, PA; tel. (610) 486-0800
