2002 Nigl, Gruner Veltliner Piri:
Has developed texturally and deepened in color over the decade but retains its acidity; becoming
complex and a pleasure along side cheese-puffs.
2006 Overnoy, Arbois Pupillin:
Ethereal aromatics, complex and bright in the mouth and pretty long, even though this is showing
young. A citric tang keeps it fresh.
2001 Fourrier, Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Combe Aux Moines:
Bottle bouquet starting; in order of intensity, aromas of earth, truffle and red fruit; slightly
slender at mid-palate and decent length. But this wine lives on its precision and it is a joy. Clearly
Gevrey.
2001 Georges Mugneret, Nuits St. Georges Le Chaignots:
Richer and smoother than the preceding wine, but a touch out of focus. Still of its place and time
and good accompaniment to salmon and leek pie.
Best, Jim
