Tasting at NK's (His House): True to the terroir of the middle part of Nuits, this is a medium to full body bruiser with rustic and rough tannins. I am reminded of a stocky down-to-earth farmer ploughing his land.

Tasting at NK Yong's (Swettenham Road, Singapore): I thought this was a very solid expression of NSG. A bit reductive on the nose at first, with some iodine notes, but this faded into the background to show dense scents of mineral, meat and dark fruit. Still quite tightly wound. Palate was a bit tight as well, but there was clearly plenty of substance packed into it, with black fruit, savoury meat and a little herb all with a nice, open balance and riding on some firm, mouth-coating tannins. Finish had plenty of persistence. Where the Vosne Brulees was feminine, this was clearly masculine - a muscular NSG if there was ever one. Should drink very nicely when it hits its stride say in 8-10 years.
