David Duband, Nuits Saint Georges Thorey

David Duband, Nuits Saint Georges ThoreySubtle wood surrounds the slightly more elegant and fresher aromas evidencing airy notes of spicy and softly earthy red and dark pinot fruit scents. The sleek, intense and beautifully delineated medium bodied flavors offer a lovely sense of underlying tension while delivering excellent length on the robust, firm and serious finish. In 2014 this is as much Vosne as Nuits in style but note well that this is going to require at least 6 to 8 years of age

fine tannins and very good length

rounded tannin texture and layers of black fruits and herbal accents

There is excellent intensity to the solidly concentrated and relatively powerful middleweight flavors that also exude evident minerality on the compact

with a sexy floral note emerging with air

A slightly riper yet still exceptionally fresh nose blends aromas of both white and yellow orchard fruit

This possesses a completely different aromatic expression with its very ripe yet restrained nose that features sauvage

Chardonnay from Côte des Blancs

A much more elegant nose displays cool and ultra-fresh aromas of both red and dark pinot fruit that is trimmed in much more subtle oak nuances

The medium-bodied palate delivers supple tannins and a fine bead of acidity

This is a fabulous showing from the 2005

and elegance are all hallmarks of this wine

That same fact is true of the mouthfeel
