Not part of our little “Vosne-side of NSG” blind shootout, but it might as well have been. Opened earlier during dinner as a blind, I thought it looked very NSG. Why I had it there was mostly down to the elimination process in our blind options. Right on I was, but had it younger.
Very dark fruited on the nose, along with earthy, spicy notes and hints of dark chocolate and moss. The palate was quite pure and elegant, with grippy tannins and an earthy, lightly mineral (which didn’t seem to grow with air) finish. When drank side-by-side with the pair of 19’ NSG during dinner, it didn’t quite have the depth not intensity of the two. It certainly wasn’t as bombastic as the MG, nor had the obvious “goût de terrior” notes of the Grivot, but had a certain elegance I liked.

Beautiful nose of spiced red fruit. Ethereal palate weight, yet bringing plenty of power with the ripe cherry & strawberry notes. Shows good acidic structure and is in a lovely spot to enjoy right now.

Burst of rhubarb on the nose. A bit astringent up front for me, but with lots of spiciness. Thought it was a Vosne-Romanée till I saw the label.
