Same bottle as Nutty08, I think I liked it even more than he did. At apogee, with cherry fruit remaining in the midst of tertiary development. Loads of umami character, like mushrooms with extra MSG, but no soy notes. Hints of fine herb in the background. And silky smooth. This is really excellent today.

This was terrific and seemingly at peak. Has some tertiary notes with tea leaves and mushroom notes mixed with cherry notes and citrus highlights. Fruit still quite full and wrapping the structure. Faded a bit with air but was really showing well (Threw a LOT of sediment, this was stood up the day before and decanted)

This 'Lost Cellar' wine was opened for a birthday dinner for friends. It was opened 6 hours before serving. The colour was deep cherry red with some rust at the edges. The nose was a perfumed mix of wild strawberry, red cherries, Asian spice and ferruginous earth. The palate was soft and rounded with lovely balance and persistence. There was a perfect touch of red fruits that persisted right through the palate and which seemed to light up the structure perfectly. Quite delicious.

fully mature and wide open, good integrated structure with a slightly stewed palate, sweet fruit in the dark red spectrum. acidity was a little lacking, maybe they picked the fruit a bit too late

Lovely wine, and in a great place to drink - fully resolved. Bloody and animale, and yet also fully refined and elegant. Complex and intricate, beautifully balanced, just lovely. Hard to imagine a wine from this vineyard being better than this.

Glorious showing, a perfect window of development with super subtle elements of wet forest floor, mushroom, truffles and spice. Balanced by loads of bright zesty raspberry cherry fruit. Truffle jus, coppery hemoglobin smoky elements (weird, I know, but true). Slight bricking/dulling on the edges, still dark and deep. Lovely.

Many people may give it only 89-91 pts but for me I'd like to give it 97-100 pts.
Very beautiful at this moment, performs full-dimensions, great nose of fruits, very fragrant earth tone, almost perfume. Reminds me a bit of 2002 Leroy Les Boudots, drinking last few weeks.
Very much like Chambolle-Musigny at the first 2 hours. Then becomes a very good combination of NSG intermixed.
Balance is superb. Tannin structure is very smooth. Texture is super splendid. Aftertaste is amazing soft and vibrant. Long and beautiful finished.
It would be perfect if you drink this wine along with the song " Beautiful Blue Danube " and just a few good friends, not more.
I wonder if 2005/2009 will be better than this when it reaches its prime time.
Wait and see.

Very well balanced with a touch of currant and earth.The wine never seems to express itself beyond that although the finish is fine but . Probably better to consume shortly after opening. The most enjoyable part of this wine is its structure and body and typical terroir Burgundy taste. A little disappointing as the ebullience somtimes found in some Nuits Saint Georges is absent from this particular wine.

Gorgeous wine. Notes of luscious raspberry, and sweet, dried cherry with great mouth feel.

Excellent structure and balance. Still firm tannins, with an earthy nose, with notes of blackberry, raspberry and blueberry.
