2003 Faiveley Nuits St. Georges

Community Tasting Note

91 Points

Thursday, December 31, 2020 - Retail $75(?). I bought this way back in 2009 from the Pennsylvanian Liquor Control Board (PLCB) for the paltry sum of 18 bucks. By just about every estimation, Faiveley is a (the?) leading negociant in Burgundy and even in a difficult year like 2003 (extreme heatwave), one would expect a stellar wine from the leader in the region. And that is what we have here. While this wine is certainly showing some stewed notes, it is surprisingly fruity and lively with plenty of acidity (which was no doubt difficult to achieve in 2003), multiple layers of complexity, and a well above average finish. While I might have waited a *tad* too long, this is still stellar. thedrunkencyclist.com
