(GOUGES Clos de Porrets) Gouges DEAL Dear Friends, If you are buying 2005 Burgundy at the high end, and you are buying to drink (not to sell), I urge you to take a step back and think about the prices. As an example, I was just offered 2005 Ponsot Clos de la Roche at a hefty sum and the 2004 version of the same wine for less than a tenth of price - complete insanity but consumers are lining up to pay the prices. All in all, I’ve had the opportunity to taste a number of 1999 and 2002 wines on this trip from the Cote de Beaune and Cote de Nuits and I can't say the 2005s are that far superior. Many are indeed better, but twice as good? I’m not sure. 2001 remains the finest overall vintage for unheralded wines and many of the winemakers I’ve discussed this with have not wanted to part with any of their 2001s but they would gladly sell any 1999, 2002 or 2005 - very telling. They are also quite high on many 2004 examples (winemakers are usually high on the vintage they need to sell and 2004 is no exception). It is a vintage that is not as strong as 2001 by any means but the prices are tough to ignore and it reminds many of them of 2001 at the 1er level. The 2004 Gouges Clos de Porrets is the perfect example of the appeal of many 2004s - terrific quality, great pricing and medium-term ageing ability. The Gouges family considers the 2004 wines to be classic examples in ever sense and they would place the 2004 Clos de Porrets at the level of their 2001 and 2002, although a different expression. They spent a great deal of time on this wine and it is only slightly below the radar of the Les Saint Georges and Vaucrains. When I tasted it last week I was duly impressed and actually asked to take the bottle home - something I rarely do as it is somewhat aggressive (I often ask winemakers to pour a small amount into a glass to take with me but not the entire bottle - it is one thing to taste barrel samples, it is another to try the same samples 4-6 hours later after the wine has had a chance to gobble oxygen - only then can you get the true impression. Keep in mind that most Burgundy reviews are done in the cellar and not after the samples have had the chance to acquire oxygen as Burgundy domaines will rarely give you something to take away - keep this in mind when assessing Burgundy barrel reviews). In this case, I wanted to see how the wine would unfold with oxygen and I’m glad I did - it is extremely impressive - as impressive as the 2005 that I could still taste on my palate from the same afternoon: VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for typicity and outstanding value for this monopole ONE SHIPMENT ONLY at this price directly from the source with perfect provenance: 2004 Gouges Nuits St. Georges “Clos de Porrets Saint Georges” 1er (monopole) Thank you, Jon Rimmerman Garagiste Seattle, WA Burg8690

This is really hit or miss. I had other bottles from same vintage as well as 2006 and 2010, and sometimes it's really off (too much acidity, no fruit, no lenght, too unripe...) and sometimes it's really good, like now.
Superb nose (fresh red fruit, spices, flowers), nice palate, correct length. I haven't tried enough older Burgundy wines to be able to sample, but I'd say don't look for terroir, for great intensity... this is "just" a very good old Burgundy with acidity and complexity across all types of aroma (primary, secondary, tertiary).
I wouldn't wait to drink, it's good now

This is the last bottle from a half case I bought on release. There is a nice garnet browning. The nose has a gentle sweetness from a distance that smells a bit like stewed cherries, sweet leather, and older tertiary scents. Up close, it’s plums and a slightly tight note of volatile acidity. On the palate, it’s tasting a bit old and weak to my taste. The fruit has clearly faded but so have the tannins. If gentle old Burgundy is your thing, it’s perfect. But I’m glad I don’t have another bottle.

I bought a 6-pack of this on release and it’s been a huge disappointment. Opened the 4th bottle today and it was ok, much better than the first three, but still, ultimately, I wish I had spent my money on something else.

Deep color with some browning. Nose is dry plums and a ball of spice (black pepper and Chinese dry mustard). Taste is a llot of NSG dirt and some cherries and plums. Honestly, not my favorite; possibly damaged?
