90/93

Just 5% whole bunches! A darker purple, a slightly sombre nose. Huge volume of fruit on the palate, with density, not too many tannins, plum and dark raspberry, retains the sombre character. Enough acidity. Just made with the half of the plot in old vines.

The 2020 Nuits Saint-Georges Clos des Thorey 1er Cru comes from three-hectares of vines with thte 50% whole bunch courtesy of the old vines. The nose offers dark cherries, crushed strawberry and wild hedgerow scents, fine delineation and vigour. The palate is slightly creamy in texture on the entry, quite plush and fruit-driven, pure red cherries and strawberry fruit with a sleek and caressing finish. Predesigned to seduce, this should age well in bottle.

(a monopole of the domaine; 5% whole clusters). An exuberantly spicy nose offers up ripe aromas of plum, black cherry, cassis and a touch of warm earth. There is impressive volume and richness to the palate soaking medium weight flavors that are, as usual, relatively elegant on the balanced and lingering finale. This lovely and understated effort should age well on its beautiful balance. One to consider. (

Sweet sawdust and vanilla notes mingle with black cherry and blackberry flavors in this silky, polished red, whose tannins are soft and balanced with fine acidity, ending with a lingering finish of tomato leaf and oak spice.

Jeg ville dog hellere sætte mine penge på den kun marginalt dyrere og seriøst lækre Clos de Thorey, som er den mest åbne af de to 1. Cruer. Her er en tyk, dyb sødmefuld frugt, fuld lakridspibe og et strejf af røg.
