Sadly my last bottle. I opened the bottle about 6 hours before dinner but did not decant. From the first glass this was magical. From the nose to the color to the pallet this was sublime. A complete, balanced wine that just enveloped you with sweet red fruit compote, raspberries, honey, and a tinge of barnyard. This is exactly why we love burgundy. A perfectly aged bottle. This is just in a great spot. Went perfectly with roasted bone marrow.

Decanted 2 hrs. It's been almost 9 years since my last go at this wine, and I'm pleased to report this NSG is doing just fine and inn a really good place. Lovely dark forest floor and red berry perfume hit on the nose and the palate, and supplemented by a savory meat pan drippings on the back half. Very consistent with respectable coverage and my guess is this close to maturity though should go for as long as you need it to. Very good.

It has been six years since I’ve had this wine. It was my last bottle but I figured if I still really liked it, I could buy more online. Unfortunately, it was nowhere to be found online in the US. The nose on this wine is intoxicating and has added some tertiary notes. The mid-palate is also lovely. The only knock on this wine from my prior tastings is that the finish has become abrupt and drying. There is definitely a green stem characteristic on the back end that makes this wine austere on the back end. Nevertheless, it is a delicious 1er Cru NSG.

Pop.and pour. Lovely on open: perfumed red fruit, nuits animale, raspberry, spice. On the palate: fantastic acidity, good density, soft red fruit, funky earth. Excellent right now. Showed oxidized on Day 2 open, so drink up in the near term.
