2018 Domaine Jean Grivot, Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru, Aux Boudots, Bottle (750ml)

DR95 "The most Vosne-Romanée-like of the Nuits-St-Georges Premiers Crus according to Etienne Grivot, with a character that he identifies as 'a little wild', Aux Boudots often produces on my favourite wines at the domaine. It's plush, smooth and glossy all right, with a sheen of aromatic 30% new wood, fine tannins and some underlying bounce and vitality." TA for DR Oct 2019

WS94 "A well of black currant and blueberry mark this sappy, yet beefy red. It's a tannic Titanic, with a dense, compact finish that echoes the dark fruit, spice and iron notes. The aftertaste is saturated with fruit. Impressive, yet will require time to resolve the tannins." BS for WS May 2021
