Nose is a 10. Unreal. Blackberry flower. Bee pollen. Sweet limestone. Purple fruits. That’s the best nose on any NSG ever. Wow. Just magic. Almost an 11. Sweet cherries are just insane. The palate is just insane. Painful minerality but gentle and so intense. Wow. So balanced and pure. The tannins are NSG but clear and ripe. Violets starting to peek out. Opulent mid palate and follows with almost a granitic energy. Almost Red Rieslingesque. Mid season cherry, darker red cherry, complex and mineral. Yes this is a 10. Yowza. After 7 hours this hasn’t lost a thing and is gaining in sweetness, tannin and elegance. Unreal.

On day 2 this wine is a problem. It’s the closest I have had to La Tache that isn’t La Tache. It’s actually even more elegant. And the spice on the nose is just next level. Beyond. Honeyed. So complex you cannot believe it. It’s the most insane thing. It’s just so high quality and pleasurable. Layered fruit. Layered spice. Waves. All so detailed and perfumed. This a benchmark for me. This is also giving Leroy with the aromatic depth. The palate is just exquisitely weightless and sweet but never vulgar. It’s opulent and sweet but whispering. The whispering only Burgundy can do. It’s got the finest tannins. So fresh and deep. Will age 20 years. Just a masterpiece. Totally blown away. — 25 days ago

Beautiful light sparkly Burgh, perfect for roast chicken/poultry. Evokes cherries both in color and palate. — 4 years ago

First bottle corked, second had the cork pushed into the bottle and noted when capsule was removed—it was dead. Final bottle was perfect—excellent old Nuits with iron and sous bois. — 5 years ago

cherry, strawberry and dusty notes on the nose. butterscotch hiding under it. plum and black raspberries note if aerated.

intense, earthy tobacco, sour medium-full body finish. notes of the red fruits from smell, but the taste is quite different from the smell. delicious wine, would be great with lamb. — 2 years ago

9.2

For over 80 years three generations of Dubourdieu’s have produced sweet white wines: Georges (1924-1948), Pierre (1949-1999) and Denis since 2000. Bouquet of ripe sweet stone fruits and dried fruit and orange scents. On the palate ripe peach, citrus and apricot flavors adding in some floral spice notes with intense botrytis, "noble rot" fruit. Long finish ending crisp showing vivid acidity. Very Nice, but this one needs time. Tasting Sample! — 4 years ago
