Henri Gouges, Nuits Saint Georges Clos Porrets

Henri Gouges, Nuits Saint Georges Clos Porrets(a 3. 5 ha monopole with 30+ year old vines). A notably ripe nose of cassis, black cherry, humus and earth possesses fine complexity. There is outstanding volume and mid palate concentration to the powerful and mouth coating middle weight flavors that exhibit a subtle minerality on the sappy, dusty, energetic and beautifully persistent finish. This is a classic Nuits that is built to age and will need it. 93 2030+

It's a different style from the regular Aalto from this same year

Almost weightlessly delicate yet simultaneously expansive and creamy

An exceptionally spicy and floral- inflected nose adds breadth in the form of both red and dark pinot fruit

along with suggestions of fresh mushroom and white truffle

cigar box and bright red fruits with a blast of cassis in the finish

the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Dr Crane Vineyard offers up a profound and singular nose of loam

the Rabajà simply has it all

So inky and unfathomably profound in shade

The 2007 Langhe Costa Russi combines richness and focus to a degree that has seldom been seen here

(from 60+ year old vines and the vineyard is a whopping 4 ha monopole within Perrières)

all of which are spectacular at this stage

The wine is partly aged in 600-litre barrels
