Quick notes from the Pogo testing. This was just the village wine 2013
WOTN (or rather the testing!).Really awesome. This and the subsequent Vosnee-Romanee are what I had liked best.

Bought at auction a while ago, label fell off at some point, and I forgot the wine. True blind tasting. I think it is a 93 Noellat Nuit st. George. Did the trick. — 9 years ago

2008 vintage, pretty damn tasty;) — 7 years ago
(aged in about 40% new oak, a bit less than in recent vintages): Medium red with modest saturation. Aromas of black raspberry, leather and earth are less pristine than those of today's wines. Creamy-sweet and spicy in the mouth, with a slightly high-toned quality to its fat flavors of red berries, red cherry, underbrush and leather. Can't match the punch of today's Hudelot-Noëllat wines but finishes spicy and very long, with a suggestion of rusticity and slightly edgy tannins that eventually turn a bit dry. Charles van Canneyt, who did not begin vinifying until 2009, following the retirement of his grandfather Alain Hudelot-Noëllat the previous year, noted that the estate's grapes were totally destemmed back in '99, then crushed and pumped back into cuves, an approach that he said could extract bitter tannins if the seeds were green.

Truly incredible experience, sharing this with my folks to celebrate my PhD. Amazing nose, unlike any other old wine I've tried. High notes of dried fruits, mulberry, Apple, and low notes of balsa wood, and a long finish. Tannins mostly gone, but acid still holding it together. Exceptionally balanced and very delicious. — 9 years ago
Great Bourgogne, enjoyed the full flavor! — 10 years ago

Really should have waited a couple of years on this one. Almost undrinkable when we started. We ran it through the aerator several times and decanted for an hour or more. Last ditch effort, aged Gouda should have started there. Amazing!!!! All wine is good given the proper pairing — 11 years ago
Damn good bottle — 11 years ago
Out of theme bottle. More depth, concentration, and complexity versus the rest. Most people guessed Vosne from its sensuality (wildness?) and dark fruits. Quite airy which led me to guess Le Petit Monts. I guess the dark/black fruits hinted more towards Les Beaux Monts. Found the 2014 to be more reductive and regal. — 7 years ago
Plenty of funk and barnyard on the nose, bright raspberry and red fruit on the palate — 8 years ago

The acidity is very high. You should keep at least for 3-5 years more to drink this wine. — 9 years ago
