This is very firmly reduced and impossible to judge aromatically. The supple middle weight flavors retain a fine sense of verve and precision that is also present on the impressively intense backend where the abundant dry extract does an excellent job of buffering the firm tannic spine as well as imparting a seductive texture. This should also drink well young but reward 10 to 12 years of bottle age. Drink: 2023+
Note: from a 1.2 ha parcel
The Domaine Georges Noëllat parcel in Boudots are the oldest vines at the estate, with
vineyard ranging from eight to one hundred years of age and these old vines have produced a
beautiful wine in 2013. The wine is pure and very vibrant on both the nose and palate, with the
bouquet jumping from the glass in an excellent mélange of black cherries, black plums, cocoa,
gamebirds, woodsmoke, a fine base of soil and a stylish base of nutty new oak. On the palate the
wine is deep, full-bodied, pure and utterly refined on the attack, with a sappy core of fruit, lovely
transparency and a very long, pure, ripely tannic and utterly seamless finish. An outstanding
example of Boudots. 2021-2055+.
