Even better than last taste. Ripe red fruits, tetiare notes of forrest and mushrooms, good acidity and just classical old school Bourgogne….the more I drink the more I enjoy this type of Bourgogne which was what made me fall in love with the wines from the region. At peak now but no signs of over aging so probably will stay there for a while.

2010 vintage

In a great spot, very floral, orange rind, spices, quite long aftertaste. Still well on its plateau.

16x Burgundy 2010 (mostly 1er) : The overall performance was quite strong and confirmed 2010’s status as a great vintage. Standouts like Grivot’s Les Beaux Monts and Méo-Camuzet’s Aux Murgers showcased the best qualities of the vintage: aromatic purity, precision, and fine structure, all wrapped in juicy acidity and seamless tannins, with impressive site transparency. Many wines shared a common thread of medicinal lift, menthol, and chalky minerality, likely reflecting the vintage’s high acidity and slow ripening curve. These notes …

Burgundy 1er Cru 15 years on : Blue fruits, mint, and polished oak on the nose. Stewed touch on the fruit but holds together well. Mid-palate slightly hollow.

2010 vintage

Great 1er Cru. My experience was totally consistent with the last hand full of community tasting notes. Elegant and accessible.

2010 vintage

Notes of herbal, some whole cluster, red and darker cherries, also some dark raspberries, leather, a touch of smoke, pepper, mint. Medium-full bodied, with medium-high acidity and some medium tannin that is very good quality, pretty long finish. While this wine was a little polarizing in the group, I believe that this just needs 5 years more to fully open up aromatically. (92+)

2010 vintage

Popped and poured. Very pretty nose with red cherry, herbs, a little animal coming through. The wine is medium bodied, quite fresh with bright red cherry, excellent precision and complexity. A winner.

2010 vintage

Really delightful. Would absolutely have again if I can find more bottles.

2010 vintage

Very consistent for me this cuvée, very floral and light on its feet with a bit of blood oranges taste that lingers

2010 vintage

In a great spot. Still primary with soft tannins and good length. Years left for those who prefer the funky tertiary style

2010 vintage

Drank at a party for my 14 year old daughters "Confirmation". Drank from non-ideal glasses, so below notes needs to be taken with certain pinch of salt, as the full display of the wine is hard to assess. That being said the wine is in a place where secondary notes are showing, such as truffles, autumn forest, while still have its primary fruit expressions - fine morrells and cherry. It comes across open, still with a bit of tannins, but …

2010 vintage

During the La Paulée in Zurich, so no detailed tasting notes. From MAG. This was very good, deep aromatics of underbrush, red fruit.

2010 vintage

La Paulee, only brief impressions. The substance is impressive, the red fruit core is seductive, however, this was still too young and a bit tight. Time will certainly help the wine to open up more, become more complex, but especially lighter and more airy.

2010 vintage

Half. Three years on from previous half. Lovely bright mid ruby. Darkish red fruit. Mellowing but with a residual tautness giving a fine line. Very decent. ***1/2

2010 vintage

Wow what a pinot full of character and complexity. Nose slightly better than mouth but I am being critical here. It kept changing during the evening and after 3 hours is started developing a scent of blood orange which I like allot in pinots. On its plateau for another 5-6 years probably.

2010 vintage

Jim's Retirement Party (Libertyville, IL) : From magnum. A very successful combination of red and black fruit with elegant textures, subtle spice and engaging balance. Whole cluster contributes lots here without dominating. I haven't had this wine since 2013, and it lives up to my very high expectations from just after release.

2010 vintage

Nose of red fruit full of freshness and brambles complemented by a touch of spice A few notes of undergrowth will complete the picture with aeration. Very pure mouth, with a silky touch but all in freshness. It's still very basic flavor level on blueberry among others, we find the rusticity of NSG (nothing pejorative there). I was surprised by an acidity which I found high, but which does not endanger the good balance of the wine since these elements …

2010 vintage

Superbe nez, fruits rouges et noirs, quelle classe en bouche aussi, énergie, acidité, texture parfaite, tellement équilibré et savoureux, superbe vin dans ce grand millésime. 93-94 Gorgeous nose and palate, red and dark energetic fruit, great acidity, texture and perfect balance, simply delicious and amazing in this great vintage.

2010 vintage

A fragrant and long lasting pinot. Red fruits abound here with a tasteful nose of pine sap on the nose after 4 hours open developing. Some spices also present to spice things up ! delicious

2010 vintage

DnP: light ruby; earthy notes; medium body; tart blueberry, cranberry; sous bois briary finish, light but nicely lasting; excellent with grilled salmon

2010 vintage

Continuing to improve from my last bottle. This is still on it uphill. Very floral open and giving allot of pinot taste. Beginning to deliver some secondary notes. Still has many years ahead of it.

2010 vintage

Fantastic. Wet slate, stone fruit, balanced. Could go longer but in good window

2010 vintage

funky

2010 vintage

Very very stylish. Charming, sharp in a very luxury type way. Deeply organic and terroir driven. Absolutely excellent. Will be looking to spend more money on old L’Arlot 🧐

2010 vintage

Svårt att låta bli dessa flaskor. Väldigt bra

2010 vintage

Stunning NSG! Medium bodied, medium garnet with a nose of white pepper, leather and rose. Needs 45 mins decant to really blossom. Refrigerated and finished the bottle next day. Flavors more developed on Day 2. Lovely, so glad I bought a case!

2010 vintage

riktigt riktigt bra vin, bra mognat, härlig kryddighet, väldigt tydligt NSG.

2010 vintage

Feral is a perfect word to describe this. Strong gripping tannins. Blackberry, undefined florals with garden shop stalky scents, some phenolic smell, a little VA, and Brett. If it sounds like this is catalogue of flaws that’s misleading: it’s more a matter of a not quite ready NSG with all its angles showing. That said, I am not sure how this will develop in the next few years. Right now, a decant is not inappropriate. Score: 91-92. Relative to expectations: …

2010 Burgundy Blind tasting – The 2010 L’Arlot Nuits Saint Cuvee Le Petit Arlot Georges comes from 10 years old vines from top of the hill. A rich and low-pitched array of gamey blackberries, mellow spices. Earthy and tannic with good acidity. Unrefined on the palate. 2010 Nuits Saint Georges? (79/100)

2010 vintage

Half. Mellow earthiness starting to develop against a meaty fruitiness with a touch of sous bois. Developing nicely. ***1/2

2010 vintage

PNP. cork perfect. color garnet with the slightest browning of edges. nose has that dark fruit and oak/eucalyptus thing from last time. swishing shows mostly acid structure but a significant dose of oak. lengthy finish. sipping allows the fruit to cover up the structure with glossy fruit. this has made considerable progress since last tasting. will hold at least 4-6 years to drink again. PS served at cellar temp this was brusque....room temp and air did wonders for this one.

2006 vintage

Half. Not quite as interesting as October’s half. Mellow, earthy, slightly meaty flavours with some sous-bois, but also a slightly drier edge to the profile that suggests licorice. Not quite as giving. ***

2010 vintage

Half. Previous half four years ago was tightening, but this one is nicely open and fully ready. Meaty, slightly earthy Gevrey character with some sous-bois mellowness. Very easy to drink. ***1/2

2010 vintage

Similar to the 2/3/18 bottle.

2011 vintage

Not a detailed note, this was a lovely bottle with clear rich red fruit, aromas of undergrowth and flowers, fine acid grip, good progressive structure on the palate.

2011 vintage

Similar to the 1/31/16 bottle except more smoke and leather aromas.

2011 vintage

375 ml bottle. Black and red berry aromas with anise and roasted meat. More black berry and cherry flavors, also meaty and earthy with some pronounced tannins. Good weight and density for its level. Very enjoyable now, but with the structure and substance to hold well.

2006 vintage

Similar to the 1/31/16 bottle.

2011 vintage

Dark aromatic fruit on the nose with a delicate floral touch and a nice hint of twiggy undergrowth. Firm but supple core of concentrated fruit on the palate with a graceful lingering acid finish. A wine in motion, gracefully contrapuntal. 50 + 17 + 16 + 9 = 92.

2011 vintage

Expressif, long et complexe. Je craignais un peu en lisant les autres commentaires mais j'ai été agréablement surpris. Superbe!

2010 vintage

Light garnet. The nose is nice, red fruit, nuits style with a gamey touch. The palate is a bit too lean with drying tannins. A pity for such a stellar vintage. Nose 92, palate 88.

2010 vintage

Similar to the 7/12/16 bottle.

2011 vintage

Nez bizarre, pas vraiment net et assez éteint, giboyeux. La bouche est fine, déliée, avec une aromatique moyenne d'où émerge en finale une légère note boisée accompagnant une cerise timide, finement pinotante. Longueur faible à correcte. Un vin qui manque de volume, de profondeur et de persistance. Qui manque un peu de tout, en fait. Heureusement, l'équilibre est correct ce qui fait qu'on le boit sans déplaisir, mais c'est tout. Anthony

2010 vintage

Decanted for 30 minutes. Much more open and integrated than the 1/31/16 bottle. Spicy and suave with a firm core of acidity. Still at the very beginning of its peak drinking period.

2011 vintage

Medium red color. Aromas of red cherries, violets, allspice and underbrush. Ripe but tightly structured fruit in the mouth with very good depth and length. Very youthful and restrained on the palate. Try again in 2 years.

2011 vintage

Half. Dense and fleshy dark fruit. This has tightened up considerably and shows signs of slight reductiveness. Time to let it slumber. *(**1/2)

2010 vintage

A rather average bourgogne. Look for something else.

2011 vintage

Medium color. Earthy nose. Black fruit and a twist of cranberry in a medium weight frame with a good core of soil. Some tannins which need a bit of taming, but starting to drink and surprisingly good.

2006 vintage

Old World Blind Tasting >$25 (Bin 75) : See through dull ruby, pale rim; fragrant, sexy nose, bright purple, tart sour cherry, slight reductive, white rock; good sap on palate, nice harder texture, white rocky mineral, sour cherry; tasty but probably better in a few years.

2010 vintage

From memory. Mineral aroma of smoky dark berry, broad and deeply charged palate with good acid and tannin, a lovely expression of pure complex juicy pinot. 50 + 16 + 16 + 8.

2011 vintage
