Nicely balanced wine but needs more cellar time. Wine not really integrated together just yet: but what a wine!! Clean, nicely delineated fruits and a tannic spine which I think will integrate wonderfully. This could well end up as a 95 point plus wine, a really silky mid weight wine. Even now it is great with food. Opened an hour before drinking — maybe 2 hours needed?

Seemed like it could do with a bit more ageing. Very aromatic, red fruit on the palate, but tannins still very present. Might buy a bottle or two more if only to see how the wine evolves with time.

Lots of stuffing here, though it's more mineral than fruit. Practically like fermented metal shavings. It's taut with grippy, edgy tannin per the house style, definitely more rustic than, say, the Boudots here, in an old-school Nuits style. But this is not a wine I *want* to be more refined. You enjoy this for its muscle and its sheer force of personality.

Barnyardy nose which blew off in the glass. Red fruits (raspberry) dominant - powerful stuff. Lots of life left - will live for another 20 years.

Oppskrytt i DN for noen år siden; det er mulig at NStG ikke er min stil. Denne flasken hadde lite charm.
