Tasting Notes
Vinous 92+
Deep red-ruby. Highly complex, demonstrative nose combines red fruits, musky truffle, minerals and crushed stone. Broad, rich, ripe and mouthfilling; like a bowl of fruits. As ripe as this is, it retains verve and lift. Finishes with dusty, well-distributed tannins and exotic notes of coffee and cocoa powder, plus a youthfully bitter note that contributes to the impression of energy and freshness. Very promising wine; I can’t recall the last Boudots here that was as strong as this. [Stephen Tanzer, 03/01/2008]
Robert Parker 91-92
The 2005 Nuits-St.-Georges Les Boudots (from 70-year-old vines) leads with a combination of ripe blackberry and black cherry allied to a marine minerality of salt spray and iodine. Fanning out across the palate with sweet, rich berry fruit and abundant fine tannin, yet remaining invigorating, this finishes impressively long on sedate low-tones of clear, pure black fruit and minerals, yet still with a sappy tang. Considerable incipient subtlety will reward some years of cellaring, or at least a more leisurely contemplation of the glass. [David Schildknecht, 01/04/2007]
