Nuits St Georges Aux Thorey Sylvain Cathiard 2012 (750ML)

88-90 Points, Wine Advocate: "It has a very refined bouquet that just needs a little more terroir expression: introspective at the moment, yet complex and nicely delineated. The palate stops you in your tracks with its cashmere texture. It is struck through with a fine bead of acidity, the fruit so pure that it is almost like caviar and consequently, I feel that it just dispenses with some of its individuality, as gorgeous as it is." 12/13

89-92 Points, Burghound: "The medium weight flavors possess a seductive mouth feel as there is plenty of dry extract buffering the otherwise moderately firm but ripe tannins on the lightly mineral-inflected finish. I very much like the balance and if this can add depth during its evolution it should merit the upper portion of my range." 01/14

90-93 Points, International Wine Cellars: "Slightly reduced aroma of red fruits. Concentrated and creamy in the mouth, with excellent texture and depth to the flavors of musky raspberry, dark cherry and sexy soil tones. In a nicely cool style thanks to fresh acidity. Finishes minerally and long." 01/14
