Nuits St. Georges, Côte de Nuits, Burgundy, France
2011 vintage. Last tasted 12.10.24 (9.4). Consistent notes definitely applying with a PNP. Introducing a little white pepper note and bleached white paper flavor (don't ask) that just add to the mystery that is red Burg. Still light-medium body and still delicious. 07.21.25.

Jul 21st, 20252011 vintage. First time with this producer. Purchased an out of town bottle (along with a buncha BDX) approx two months ago and finally got around to driving 1.25 hours one way to pick up. Pressed immediately into service tonight. Sweet fill and good cork. Nose a bit musty. Not decanted as I was at home and too lazy for the hogsheads of real fire and whatnot. Light-medium body. Sultry notes of cinnamon, tangerine peel and slightly carmelized brown sugar betwixt drought earth and brackish water. Doesn't exactly sound like an Oscar for a memorable performance but this was firing. Lengthy finish. At the top of the bell curve and tastes like it'll remain as such for another 5-6 years. In that oh so sweet spot for dynamite, 1er Cru red Burg. At (only) roughly $170 a bottle (including shipping this time), purchasing four more bottles as we speak. I'd like to thank the Academy...er...the credit card. 12.10.24.
