  December 27, 2023 - Fairly light color for NSG. Dried cherries, pepper, and a touch of barnyard stink but less mineral forward. Did someone slip me a Gevrey Chambertin? On first sip, it’s clearly not GC but I did think, “this is the reason we drink Cote du Nuits” for a different reason. Nice concentration and depth of palate. Everything in wonderful balance. Nice long finish. To my palate, NSG has an earthy iron-like quality, which this unmistakably has. Honestly, I don’t know if this wine will develop the incredible tertiary aromas of CdN but it doesn’t have to. Right now, it’s textbook NSG to me and the second best Roncieres I’ve ever had (the other one was a Chevillons as well). Just be sure to let settle for at least a day (it has a fine cloudy sediment) or I suspect it will taste horrible. Dried cherries intensify and the wine almost becomes more youthful after 2 hours in the decanter but it does shed that GC barnyard quality. I suspect Alien had an off bottle because this is not at the end of the road— if anything, its road just went from gravel to smooth blacktop. I agree to drink up, however, because it’s nearing or at peak and I don’t think it’s a legendary enough vintage to require 20+ years like some NSG’s.

  October 14, 2023 - Nick A's Burgundy Series, 2011 Edition, kids table: I suspect i've just been lucky but I seem to have an incredibly good hit rate with Chevillon (and Gouges for that matter). Super engaging, really well put together - the purity of the 11s but somehow broader, easier to engage with. If someone said they'd blended in a proportion of '10 or even '09 I'd believe them. WOTN? Maybe, but it would be close with the Ente.

  October 12, 2023 - Nick's 2011 Burgundies (Noizé): Subdued nose I felt, less immediately exuberant than the Mugneret-Gibourg Vosne-Romanée. On the palate it’s smooth with almost no evidence of tannins, cool fruited, dark and really elegant. Mesmerising stuff, it grows and grows with air, and there is a silken quality threaded through it, completely disarming. In short it’s perfectly ready and highly delicious, and I wish I had a lot more.

  October 12, 2023 - Nick A's 2011 Burgundy Horizontal (Table 2) (Noizé, London): My favourite wine of the night; this is dark and brooding, damsons and smoke are complemented by some subtle complementary notes. There is sweetness that reminds me of grilled banana with brown sugar and something nutty too, almost like a pickled walnut. Palate rich and long. Chapeau.
