Just incredible. Went in with somewhat low expectations. The color was extremely light and transparent. On pop on pour, this had a fairly muted nose and flavor profile but within minutes it transformed into a truly magical bottle of red burgundy. The most ethereal NSG I've ever drank, I will borrow from a TN below, it glides on the palate like 2-ply silk. The palate - impressively, also picks up weight after a few glasses. The palate and nose is to die for - perfumed, sweet strawberry and baked cherry nose, a touch of dried peony. One of those wines where you don't want the bottle to end. Drink now.

Served at Confrerie event. Good, tasty, approachable, ... just not as complex as some other vintages. Sound wine, just not reaching for the stars tonight. As I have more tasting experiences with this wine am coming to think it is a sound second-tier NSG, but without the aromatics or complexities of some other sites. Mugnier's magic Musigny is stellar but well this is a NSG. 91-92 according to my notes.

Absolutely superb. Texturally light but enveloping -- like fine 2-ply silk; and with great length -- like a silky fabric that you want to keep stroking. Barely dried red fruits and plum. Some tertiary, but not pronounced at all. Sure you could age longer, but why wait. It's so lovely now.
Translucent ruby color. Nose of scintillating iron-inflected red raspberry, crushed stone, iodine, and violets. Layers of sharp, ferric-infused, singing red berry and Bing cherry fruit on the palate energized by bright acidity balancing fine-grained, structured tannin. Longer finish of red berry, iron, and velvety earth. Lovely wine. Young but already showing such character and verve.

Yeasty, briochy nose. It's 2008 telling a gentle story. It's really lovely. Velvety and almost chocolatey. Like a chocolate truffle. Really very good indeed. Irresistible.
