Kei Shiogai Gevrey-Chambertin Baraques

Opened at Inda Bar in Geneve. Slow-oxed before enjoying. Served against the '22 Cherbaudes, and once again the difference in used oak versus new oak was so clear to see. Similar to the Pommard '21, this was more light on its feet and approachable, but is a bit more serious than that and has more concentration, though still has Kei's signature sweet red fruit on the nose when you give it some air to come out properly. Drinking very well …

Stadig sød bærpræg i duft blandet med fad. Lige sød nok, men kan drikkes. God balance.

No. 97 Was an okay experience to me given the hype and negative comment seen online. This bottle is balanced and enjoyable

Bottle no. 75 / 912. 13.5% ABV. PNP into Zwiesel Giacomo Conterno Sensory glass (“Fruit” day): Pale purplish ruby to the eyes. Flora and rooty plants like lily bulb nuances that is reminiscent of the Bizot style but no bluish fruits. Elegant and ethereal, high definition chunky red cherry fruit with great concentration (almost cherry liqueur and tarry dried floral nuances that is not unlike an elegant version of a top flight young Barolo) Great energy with a soft touch …

Drank in Burgundy Cristal clear fruits with a wonderful fresh palate.
