Jasper Morris 94 pts! Concentrated youthful purple. This was picked in good time with an excellent sense of energy, a deeply concentrated but still fresh fruit. There is massive weight on the palate here, showing the darker fruit of Nuits-St-Georges, yet continuing through to a fine and balanced finish. With the weight of the 2019 vintage this delivers a very classical powerful Nuits.
Neal Martin 93 pts! The 2019 Nuits Saint-Georges Clos des Porrets-Saint-Georges 1er Cru is very perfumed and quite floral on the nose. Rose petal and iris infuse the red berry fruit, as just a background scent of graphite emerges with time. I am initially smitten by this, though it seems to fade in the glass, sadly. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent tannins. There’s a lovely core of red fruit here, leaning toward Vosne-Romanée in style with a lavish yet controlled, peppery finish that lingers. This is a very well-crafted and delicious wine. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting. (Drink between 2026 - 2048)
