  Rating wines is all about expectations. What do I expect - or want - from a 22 year old village Burg? Truth and beauty, or at least a little of these things. And tonight that’s what I got. An honest Burg, true to form. Really a very pretty nose - strawberries, cherries, some earthy violets. The palate was nicely red fruited, softened beautifully with age. Not silky, but gentle. Plenty of depth, but not powerful. Some nice secondary development in the earthy, mineral vein with everything nicely in place. Good balance, medium body and length. Nothing too much - not overly complex, but not wimpy. It’s satisfying when a village NSG punches above its weight, but there’s a real pleasure in a nicely aged wine showing its virtues but not excessively. Bravo. Compared to the 2010 this is a bit less hedonistic, but with the summer shine of the vintage it still has plenty of life left.

  This was drinking great! Delicious concentration of red fruit and secondary elements, great presence and acidity. Good stuff

  The most expressive aromatics among three 02 red burgs, and the only village level wine. Lovely spice, smoke and earthen accents to still fresh black cherry aromas. Palate is nicely concentrated, at the 1er cru level, as the old vines work their magic. At peak.

  Burgundy BBQ (House of Nanda - Chicago IL): Double blind in what turned out to be a 2002 flight. Clean and bright black fruit, I thought this showed 1er Crus concentration, and thought it younger than its actual age. Very good now.

  Barnyard / horse stable aromas. A bit rancid and sour in the mouth. Well over the top, at least this bottle.
