WTN: '08 Fourrier Gevrey Chambertin VV

Drank over the course of 5 hours. This wine keeps you on your toes with a shifting nose that ranges from sappy red fruit, to cinnamon, to pepperoni, to earthen tones. The body of the wine remained firm over the course of the night with underlying brothy and floral tones. This was more muscular than many of the other 2008 Burgundy's I've had thus far but probably not as spicy. Fine tannis lingered on the finish. I won't be opening my other bottles of this anytime soon.

thanks for notes. I didn't buy many 2008s (sounds like a vintage I'd like, but trying to slow buying), but one of the few I got was the Cherbaudes. If the village needs time, you helped save me from impulsive infantocide.

i've been enjoying the 2008 burgs that i've tasted thus far. most have been incredibly structured, and at times, a bit too taut (last night's Fourrier falls into that category!) - but have shown complex spice and meat notes. for my tastes, it's an exciting vintage. plus the prices are attractive compared to the 2009s.

Agree with your thoughts on 08s (I'm just waiting for a whole lot more to be closed out as the 09s start landing), and glad I have a few bottles of this coming. This sounds seriously good.
