  So much lift, energy and charm here - all the delights of an elegant 2010 red Burgundy. The nose had a delicious blackcurrant leaf note that I often find in Grivot's wines, and which continued to delight through the the entire bottle. Really clean and balanced on the palate - so much so I think I failed to give it the attention it deserved. Happy to have another, which may well get a higher score with additional maturity.

  Annual Bonfire Party tasting. Very surprisingly pale and transparent colour for a 2010 Nuits. Blind I would have said a Chambolle from the '90s. The nose unfurls wave after wave of cherries, minerals, spice, fresh flowers and then more earthy notes; again I would have thought a '10 Nuits would be more muted. This exuberance carries on into the palate with a great fruit/acid balance, complex and intense flavours balanced by minerality but still exuding an ethereal weightlessness that is the epitome of fine Burgundy for me. WOTN by a huge distance and possibly the most enjoyable Burg I have ever tasted . Drinking beautifully but more than enough there for a long life. 97-8

  Iron, blood, earthy aromas with red fruit. Lovely balance, length, and acid. I expected this to be a little closed but not at all. Ready for business and drinking beautifully although will develop further. Had with Xmas lunch.

  Had this with the Boudots and this lost by a point. Nose was bramble and red-fruited. Palate was lighter and more subtle than Boudots, with some iron and blood notes which mark this as more rustic. Could evolve into interesting nuances with time.
