This brilliant effort just seems to move from strength to strength with its positively sublime aromas of ripe yet elegant dark berry fruit, plum, spice, violet and sandalwood-infused nose. The highly seductive, concentrated and notably powerful mineral-inflected medium full flavors are underpinned by a notably firm tannic spine on the velvety, highly complex and stunningly long finish where the only nit is a hint of warmth. The mid-palate sap completely buffers the dusty tannins and this should be capable of at least another decade of improvement and perhaps even longer. This overtly powerful and built-to-live-for-decades effort delivers grand cru quality and I wouldn't touch a bottle for at least another 5 years. In sum, this is reference standard Fuées.
Lots of excitement and vigour and brightness and this really leaps out of the glass. Seems much more forward than the Nuits 2005. Very rich and grainy and sumptuous and welcoming, Peacock's tail of flavour on the finish. Lovely already! Great finish. 2010 - 2020
