Earlier this year, as we do each year, we participated in our public school gala to raise funds for the school.
The theme this year was the World of Pinot Noir, and our intention was to host at our house.
This is always a fun night. Not really a bunch of wine nerds, but the wine and food are appreciated and its a good use of the cellar.
At the time we thought Covid-19 may be a temporary interruption... Apparently not.
So we finally moved this one to zoom. Thanks Charlie Fu for the tips on how to do this.
The scores all look fairly close, because the quality was high across the board with no duds. The burgundies have more life left in them, but this was a good showing across the board.
I couldn't find the 3rd kiwi wine for this flight so subbed a Spatburgunder

Very dark garnet color.
Nose of violets, vanilla and dark cherries.
On the palate, sweet fruited without being cloying. Ripe red cherries. Savory and rich with great concentration. Deep, rich, long and broad. An impressive, if somewhat glossy burgundy.

Crystalline dark ruby color.
Quite savory nose of sous bois, turned earth, raspberries and vanilla.
Palate of e cherries and spice. Great length and finishes with good grip. Shows quite vosne like to me. The most mature of these burgundies tonight although has the stuffing to age further. How much? hard to guess.

2009 Domaine Henri Gouges Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Clos des Porrets St. Georges 92 Points

Clear, mid-to-pale garnet color.
Floral and quite vinous nose. Smells of cherries.
On the palate, slightly tart. Red fruited - red cherries and strawberries. Grippy with wood tannin. A little tight right now, but lovely style and huge promise. 92+
