  This bottle had loosened up quite a bit, relative to the one I'd opened 18 months previously. Not sterile or thin, texture was discernable, though most of the flavor was hidden within a dense veil of tannins. Interesting to drink but not flattering. The second day, much to my surprise, a glass poured out of the bottle straight from the refrigerator was delicious and replete with mouth-filling Burgundy fruit. As the glass warmed to cool room temperature, the previous character re-asserted itself. A striking contrast: I'm familiar with the role temperature can play in how the flavors of a wine present (or don't), but haven't experienced the difference on anything like this scale, nor with a wine like the Gouges Premiere. Anyway, my recommendation: drink now (cold) or hold for a few more years, at least.

  2007 vintage apparent. Wine has a bit more acidity than fruit but is overall a classic if lighter NSG Pruliers

  Rolled the dice on this bottle on the strength of some recent notes. So far, it's thin, stony, bitter, almost oenously sterile. To my sensibilities, this wine is either much too young, well-past its prime, or poor wine. I hesitate to go to the third possibility, because of the reputation of the vigneron and vineyard. OTOH, I opened a series of halves during the teens, and it never seemed ready to drink, so I'm skeptical of the first possibility. So maybe this is one of those Gouges wines that takes forever to mature. Others have found it to be fine during the teens and recently. It's a puzzle.
  
  Anyway, won't mess with my last bottle for a while, and my 2007 les St. Georges from Gouges shall sleep for a very long time yet.

  Easy to like, quite elegant and not very Nuits St. George.
