    June 7, 2020 - Cellaraid Discovery Box; 5/19/2017-5/26/2021 (Delivered to Home): Medium ruby, with slight fading and browning on edges, and somewhat thick legs. Aromas of raspberry, cloves, and slightly grassy and meaty. Medium bodied, tannins biting, acidic, quite a bit of alcohol heat, and some intense flavours of raspberry, briney minerals and impression of soft clay earth, leaves, cloves, and pepper. Fairly long dark floral finish

    July 22, 2018 - Cellaraid Discovery Box; 5/19/2017-5/26/2021 (Delivered to Home): a rather deep hue of ruby and purple, and while light bodied, boasted huge breadth and intensity, with lavender, acacia, cassis, plum, nutmeg, almond, tea leaves, and herbals; very long finish; great wine!

    April 23, 2017 - Medium darker ruby color. Pretty expressive notes of dark red cherries, also some plum, minerality, dark soil, also some mushroom and underwood, licorice, menthol, some spices, also some tobacco and cedar wood. Pretty dark toned for a Les Saint-Georges. It's medium-full bodied, with medium+ acidity providing excellent freshness and medium+ tannin that is more integrated than about 3 years ago when I tasted the last bottle. Very good length. A beautiful combination of darker St-Georges style, freshness and the first tertiary notes are starting to show up too. If you like your Burgundy on the younger side (like I do) then this is at the beginning of the drinking window. Not on the same level as e.g. Chevillon or Gouges but still very good.

    February 19, 2017 - i prefer this to the '08 vintage. it is similarly light, and very fruit forward. but there is an added layer of pepper spices and french oak, which added to the complexity

    September 12, 2014 - PnP. Almost Piedmontese kind of nose of dark red cherries, stony minerality, graphite, flowers, dark soil, a touch of menthol and spicyness. Changes every few minutes in the glass, but overall a little closed. On the palate there are pure Pinot kind of flavors like red berries, but also tons of minerality, cedar wood and some tobacco. It's medium-full bodied and pretty dense with medium-high tannin that is still a little rough around the edges, with medium+ acidity. Good length. This is an expressive NSG from this top-notch 1er Cru, but just very young right now. I would give it a few years in bottle. Still a very interesting Burgundy with quite some potential.
