Other Reviews....
An exuberantly floral-inflected nose reveals notes of spice, red currant, earth and a whiff of herbal tea. There is terrific punch and delineation to the sleek, intense and stony medium weight flavors that display excellent persistent on the long, serious and well-balanced finale. One to check out.

Allen Meadows - Burghound

The 2018 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Aux Thorey was showing especially well, bursting from the glass with scents of raspberries, plums, dark chocolate, spices and cinnamon, a delicate top note of rose petals emerging as it sits in the glass. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and generous, it's velvety and supple, with lively balancing acids. The Aux Thorey is especially charming this year.
