This was in a great spot. Expressive aromatics of mushroom and loam notes with hints of leather. Palate is mostly integrated and soft, but still fresh and alive. Finish a bit clipped keeping this was getting to the next level. Quite lovely though.

Significant fine sediment decanted off. Light ruby; medium intensity aromatics with strawberry, red fruits, spice, more savory notes with umami, soy, dark cherry, tea leaf, slight iron; palate is light bodied, nice balance of primary fruit with some secondary savory character, fades a bit through the midpalate; finish is medium, length. A nice NSG, showing some signs of early maturity, enjoyable, but somewhat held back by length and complexity. 90

Popped and poured at a dinner party. Wonderfully secondary nose- tea leaf, smoked paprika, cinnamon, turned earth, sanguine-blood, with dark cherry fruit. Shows nice fruit and minerality on the palate highlighting consistent secondary notes. Medium-bodied, with a dense core, fleshy full structure, integrated acid, and fine tannins. Good depth and complexity through the finish. Still young, potential to improve. Excellent.

Baptême de Simone Belle bouche que je mettais en Volnay 1er cru. Coté herbacé noble, d'une belle persistance avec une finesse que je n'avais jamais trouvée dans les NSG. Délicieux. 91-92 pts

On the darker toned, more brooding side of NSG.
