2006 Potel Nicolas Nuits St.Georges Les Murgers

By on March 31, 2008 #asides

The nose is complex focused and elegant – super. Lithe, vibrant wine with a super finish. This is very, very good. Short note, sweet wine.

2006 Potel Nicolas Nuits St.Georges Les Damodes

By on March 31, 2008 #asides

Seems a ‘younger’ less formed nose. There is a small step-up in concentration versus the Murguers. This expands very well over the palate and has a super finish – faint oak flavours are to the fore, but still excellent wine.

2006 Potel Nicolas Vosne-Romanée Les Malconsorts

By on March 31, 2008 #asides

The nose is a little fatter than the Damodes; some spice but overall remains quite reserved. Wide impression over the tongue, very well packaged tannin and reasonable length – but overall a little too tight so say great or not…

2006 Potel Nicolas Corton-Charlemagne

By on March 31, 2008 #asides

deep and savoury nose with just a little background sulfur. Very mineral, soft in texture and widening into the mid-palate and long, long in the finish. This has some understatement for a Charlemagne but the depth and concentration are obvious.

An understated nose of faint red berries. Whilst this is also a little tight, it’s showing more than the Malconsorts – quite wide an interesting if undemonstrative – no negatives.

2006 Potel Nicolas Criots Bâtard-Montrachet

By on March 31, 2008 #asides

A much wider and more complex nose, though some faint estery notes too. Super texture, this wine absolutely stands out for its ceamy complexity in the mid-palate and its awesome finish. I’d only once had a white that ruined the next few reds as its flavour had saturated my palate and refused to leave – that was DRC 2002 Montrachet – this is the second wine to achieve it. Stunning, awesome wine.

Much more depth and density here – this is a grand cru nose. Here is another tight Vosne, but versus all that have gone before, there is an extra creamy density. Only hinting at what’s in the tank, but this will be excellent.

2006 Potel Nicolas Volnay Vieilles Vignes

By on March 31, 2008 #asides

The Potel signature wine is, in 2006, a compendium of around 12 separately vinified parcels whose vines average out at 60+ years old. The nose is wide with a nice complexity of dried berries; cranberry, redcurrant and black cherries – very nice. The palate has good intensity and a background of ripe tannin. The finish is a good one. – recommended as always.

More fruit and less toast on the nose. The palate has more concentration and smoother texture. The acidity is good and there’s a nice burst of concentration on the back of your tongue. Finishing nicely, this is very good.
