2005 Grivot Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Les Boudots
Written By: Michael Zimberg on Tue, Apr 15th 2008
Yet another killer 2005 burgundy. This is serious, dark, and takes more than an hour to start to come out of its shell. Then it is just delicious, with a field of dripping, ripe black fruits, and warm, damp dirt. It has a massive, complex palate and a huge finish, with lots of tannins. I have only 1 more bottle in my cellar and will certainly buy more. This wine will easily age 20 years. If you are going to drink it, either decant, or open several hours prior to drinking. So charming and tasty. Just short of sublime. Retail $90.
