• 2006 Domaine Robert Arnoux / Arnoux-Lachaux Nuits St. Georges 89 Points

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Nuits St. Georges

  A hint of oak on the nose but plenty of fruitiness, some development.
  Fruity with plenty of ripe tannins, quite full, very dry finish, I suggest keeping this 2 to 5 years.

  Lovely fruity notes and clearly a mature nose.
  The obvious oak intrudes on the fruit, quite big.

• 2006 Domaine Taupenot-Merme Mazoyères-Chambertin 94 Points

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Mazoyères-Chambertin Grand Cru

  Wonderfully fragrant, delicate red fruits and a hint of smoky oak.
  Great fruit, soft tannins under control, light and weighty at the same time, very long, will get even better over the next ten years.

  Quite a delicate fruity nose, with almonds and meaty notes.

• 1999 Domaine Fourrier Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Combe aux Moines Vieille Vigne 85 Points

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru

  An oxidised nose, vegetal and meaty notes, no fruit.
  Amazingly ther's some fruit in the mouth, dried fruit, but this is on its downward slope.
