  11/1/2019 - IJC Likes this wine:

  Delicious, and textbook mature NSG.
  
  Dark and medium red fruits, their youthful brightness replaced with age by richness and balanced by just enough acidity along with a hint of stem, and a touch of earth added a layer of complexity which made the drinking experience that much more rewarding.
  
  Some months ago, I opened a Boudots, same vintage - and the profiles are similar and consistently fine, though I think this bottle the better of the two. I believe this vintage is now in its prime drinking window; unlikely to improve with more age though one does not need to rush - there appears to be years of life left.
  
  Rated 2 on a scale of -1 to +3.

  Disapointing. This wine is -for a 2005 vintage- very old. Showing good as and older wine but I wasn't expecting that in 2019. Some tertiaire tones. Nice with some food but not what I was expecting.

  Strawberry, cherry, sous-bois; smooth, gradual, silky, lingering; refined but simple

  very good burgundy that held its own with a marinated steak roast - earthy with medium body - still a bit young and not fully open - but is drinking well even now and for years to come

  Nuits Potpourri (Arlequin Wines, San Francisco): After a false start with one corked bottle, this had a lighter red color and very pretty floral aromatics. Medium body, prominent acidity, good Nuits mix of black cherry and some earth. Linear and not very charming at present. I am mildly encouraged by the aromatic development and the presence of some fruit that is mostly in the background now . However, I'm not convinced about its balance going forward. Having said that, there is really is no choice other than to hold onto your bottles for another 5 or 10 years and see whether they soften and flesh out because they are certainly not enjoyable in their current state.
