This wine is a monster in the most flattering sense! At the age of 10, it exudes tremendous poise and boasts a rock-solid structure. Its fading color should not deceive you; this intrinsic Nuits Saint Georges has a brave future ahead. I once stood in the cellars of Domaine Chevillon, savoring samples of an another vintage, and this wine transports me back to those caves with the swoosh of a magic wand. In unforeseen time, it might stand among the best modern Burgundies ever crafted. I sincerely hope to live long enough to express, with decades of enthusiasm held back, 'Oh, how lovely!

The wine is marked by its class, elegance, and unmistakable sense of place, yet it falls short of expectations once again for me. Somewhat thin, lacking the concentration that's often abundant in wines of this caliber (2005 Epenots comes to mind). Maybe my disappointment stems from the high expectations set by the BH's 93-point rating. ¯ \_(ツ)_/¯ Lovely, nevertheless

nourished for about 8 hours - this wine started of a funky, weird and not so enjoyable, but finished strong - a classy Gevrey Chambertin. Soft textured and typical, this was one lovely experience.
