Last year, I wrote that Joseph Roty's 1980 Gevrey-Chambertin Village is drinking well, offering up a rich bouquet of sweet berries, cherries, forest floor, dried citrus rind, smoked meats and beef blood, and a second bottle from my cellar was entirely consistent with that note. Medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, it's muscular and impressively structural, with a rich core of fruit complemented by ample tertiary and carnal nuances. Long and penetrating, this is showing beautifully. I can only imagine how great Roty's 1980 Charmes-Chambertin must be, but alas, I was unable to source a bottle for this article.
