I’m starting to get a little nervous about 2019 red Burgundy. The vintage was so dazzling young that people, understandably, got seduced. It reminded me of 2005 in that way, huge early authority, massive promise, the kind of wines that make you think you are looking at immortality. But now I’m seeing the same thing I eventually saw there: a slightly roasty evolution and a pace of maturation that feels faster than I’m comfortable with. This 2019 Pierre Brisset Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Aux Thorey is still gorgeous, a 9.7 wine, but it also reinforces the point. If I had real depth in 2019s, I would not be waiting around for some imaginary perfect plateau. I’d start drinking. This really got younger and more dense overnight and is drinking way better. 9.7 to 9.8. — 3 months ago

ample aroma. Strawberry, raspberry, plum, red flower. Sweet sour, juicy. Domaine Pierre Amiot et Fils Morey saint denis 22 @12000, AD, 250210 — a year ago
Vibrant, juicy, so fresh, alive!
Green apples, green grass, a hint of green apricot, some lemongrass. Highly enticing. Not flint like Sancerre, no exotic canned fruit like NZ. Fresh, green, grassy.
On the palate this has a round, slightly creamy mouthfeel but remains focused, light, appley juicy, vibrant. A slightly herby, salty bitter edge adds an interesting edge and a bit of nice complexity.
Closer to a Chenin Blanc (think Guiberteau) than a typical SB.
Slightly cloudy, incredibly drinkable.
This is a delightful discovery! — 4 years ago
2012. Honey, underripe pear, nice acidity. — 7 years ago
Grapefruit and plenty of mineral on both nose and palate. Some austerity as you often get with Saint Aubin. As Jasper Morris MW describes the terroir - “A steep south west facing vineyard overlooking the hamlet of Gamay. It offers attractive wines but not in the First Division of St-Aubin.” The following night notes of mandarin on the palate with the ever present mineral. — 24 days ago
2015 lovingly stored, drank at what feels like its peak in 2026, all the necessary acidity and fruit but deep and mature secondary flavors of Syrah — 3 months ago

Not at the peak anymore… solid wood, plenty of tannins and a beautiful nettle nut finish. — 4 years ago
