Gouges Nuits-St-Georges 1er cru Clos de Porrêts St Georges 2010

90-94 points Fine Wine Review: "The Nuits-Clos des Porrêts Saint-Georges is smooth and indeed almost silky in its texture but with underlying structure. The fruits are dark – dark plums and blueberries – but less expressive today... (Issue #134; 2011)"

93+ points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The 2010 Clos des Porrets is a stunning wine in the making, soaring from the glass in a complex and sappy blend of red and black cherries, stony minerality, espresso, gamebirds, woodsmoke and a lovely topnote of violets. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and sappy at the core, with brilliant soil inflection, firm, well-integrated tannins, excellent focus and balance and tangy acids perking up the very long, pure and properly reserved finish. A great vintage of Clos des Porrets. 2022-2065. (Nov/Dec 2011)"

91-93 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2010 Nuits St. Georges Clos des Porrets Saint-Georges is the first wine in this lineup that shows the structure of the vintage. Freshly cut flowers, minerals, graphite and black cherries are woven into a textured fabric of notable class. I especially like its energy and drive. A precise, finely-chiseled finish rounds things out nicely. Drink: 2015-2025. (Feb 2012)"

92 points Bruce Sanderson (Wine Spectator): "Needs air to reveal the black cherry, violet, mineral and spice notes. Rich and tannic, yet balanced overall and long on the finish. Best from 2016 through 2027. 256 cases imported. (11/15/13)"
