Stylish, smooth. A bit sleek and polished but showing 05 depth and complexity. It's a lovely glass of pinot, didn't show much of a Nuits profile to me.

My another wow wine for burgundy 1er cru, and this had all grand cru qualities. Louis left the bottle opened for 4 hours before serving. Wonderful intense noble floral and red fruits nose, deep ruby color, silky palate, mouthful feel and long after taste. Superb!

It was given a good 6 hours of aeration. Nose expressed dates, sweet dark fruit, minerals and violets. Palate was generously open and deep. Perfect balance between fruit and acidity. Drinking well already for a young Cathiard.

The nose was something special. It was like being at The Butchart Gardens! However, this wine probably suffered from being drunk at a Fourth of July barbecue after some Cal Cabs and even a Cayuse. I guess we just couldn't handle the barbecue wines anymore! NR

Decanted for 30 mins before serving. Deep nose with wild berries, asian spice, herbs and cinnamon fruit. Palate had very good depth showing the pretty berry fruit. Extra fine tannins. Grand cru quality. Very powerful. Upside from here. The length was regal and long. Totally stole the show tonight against Meo Boudot 06,10 and Cathiard Thorey 06,08.

Previous notes hold. This time served in a line-up sort of single blind with Dugat Py Gevray VV 99, Roty Gevray Fontenys 05 and Marchand Charmes 08. I guessed this correctly as my wine but most others did not guess this as Nuits. It developed amazingly in the glass displaying haunting Vosne spices and amazing pure fruit and concentration. WOTN for everyone at the table.

I had a bottle of this over two weeks on three occasions - first two from Coravin and then pulled the cork. This is really a great wine and one that changes a fair bit over time. On pnp this is drinking well showing minerality and focus. It is clearly very ripe for a red Burgundy given vintage and there are no sour notes ever but rather lush blueberry fruit emerging with some air. Oak can be showing but I find it less obvious immediately after pour and with a lot of air, it just in between has its little window. With some air the wine gets so full throttle that one could mistaken it for a great Pomerol even. This is super sexy red Burg with a finish that doesn’t want to quit. Probably not the most classic but a great great wine. Drinking now and for many many years.

Third bottle of this over the last year. When I opened the bottle to decant and took a small taster it had a really impressive mineral undertow and amazing nose. Decanted for around 3 hours and the wine showed a true elegance but also decent power paired with a wonderful nose that was most reminiscent of Vosne. Probably as good as NSG gets for me! After the experience with this bottle I would probably decant slightly shorter next time (maybe try after half an hour) as I felt the minerality and velvet punch it had when I took the initial taster got a bit lost.

Double decanted and left in bottle for 24 hours - then decanted for an hour before serving. This was absolutely gorgeous. Great nose of berry bushes, positively "sauvage"/wild, hint of stems, just kept on getting better with more air. Lovely intensity and panache. Better then my first bottle earlier this year which was probably due to the extended aeration. Although maybe lacking the finesse of his Vosne wines this is really super special NSG. Great winemaker. Drink now - 2035.

Med luft kommer Pinotsexy. Frukten er virkelig dyp på denne. Strålende nese med litt luft. Bra trøkk. Ungdommelig og vil utvikle seg i mange år fremover. Mørk frukt i finish. Sitter lenge med helt fine tanniner. Ung og jævlig digg.

First of a case. Decanted 2 hour. Really beautiful nose of top notch red Burg. On the palate this was good but not as refined as a Malconsorts 07 had recently (go figure), the tannins are a tiny rustic and could be more refined maybe. Got better with more time. Strong red Burgundy, outstanding NSG.

Very good nose, with nice and expensive wood and some funky stable tones. Very nice wine, with soft acidity and well integrated and soft tannins. Good, deep fruit. Excellent wine.

De-stemmed aromatics. Clean, fresh, red fruited palate.

PoB - Domaine Sylvain Cathiard Lunch (Hong Kong): Also here, a very floral nose intermixed with clay, licorice, gingerbread. Wonderfully refined and elegant.

At BWC tasting. Very muted nose. Blackberries, cherries, earth on palate. More ageing needed. My #6.

Deep focused red fruit. Power but with a nice elegance. Expected a bit better acidity this vintage but lovely anyway.
