Tiny touch of sulphur at first but basically an extremely clean, pure, wine. Nice balance of fruit and floral components on nose and palate. but a little soft and lacking spine for me. Hopefully with more age increased complexity will make up for this.
Absolutely delightful, just what you want in very young burgundy - mineral, elegant, very transparent fruit but with lovely acid too. As far at the other end of the spectrum from the 07 L-Belair Clos Vougeot drunk at the same time as one could possibly be. I loved this.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru
Traditional, lovely bright acidity, somewhat rustic fruit. Some iron and dirt there, but basically a young wine that is past it's most youthful phase. Not fully closed either, and quite energetic with it's acidity. Will be something more interesting in 10 years, though.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos Vougeot Grand Cru
Very international nose, masses of vanilla oak. Smooth, glossy, well textured wine, quite tannic (far more than I've had in any other 07) but showing lots of primary fruit. High quality wine making, but a very modern style in a quite obvious way.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru
Very concentrated, dark colour, characteristic but slightly chunky. excellent structure still, acid, tannin and fruit all there. Perhaps a little bit of oak toast hiding in the finish. Quality wine but not elegant. Ready to drink.
