This wine is a monster in the most flattering sense! At the age of 10, it exudes tremendous poise and boasts a rock-solid structure. Its fading color should not deceive you; this intrinsic Nuits Saint Georges has a brave future ahead. I once stood in the cellars of Domaine Chevillon, savoring samples of an another vintage, and this wine transports me back to those caves with the swoosh of a magic wand. In unforeseen time, it might stand among the best modern Burgundies ever crafted. I sincerely hope to live long enough to express, with decades of enthusiasm held back, 'Oh, how lovely!

Was earthy, with a hint of berry fruit on first pour. It had some light florals and plenty of mineral. It was velvety of texture and finished with ripe tannins and was expansive.
NR as this is clearly too young, but it has 92-94 pt. potential in 10-30 years... very four square at this point with very large body (for red burg) and just a hint of complexity at this point... promising... glad to have 5 more tucked away offsite... wait!!

Monday night blind BYO; 1/29/2018-1/30/2018 (Tords house): Round, elegant and powerful. Layers of both aromas and tastes, that lingers. Spices and wet tobacco. Berries, raspberries and sour fruit. Drinking very well now!

Dark in color than the VV. And a noticeable uptake indeed. Much more dark and depth. Funny, not aniaml in any way. Elegant. Gorgeous.
