2019 Aurelien Verdet Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Les Damodes (750ml)

"The 2019 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Damodes is showing very well, unfurling in the glass with notes of dark berries, cassis, rose petals, spices and orange rind. Medium to full-bodied, lively and succulent, with fine depth at the core and a long, perfumed finish, it's a cuvée Verdet has produced since 2006." 93 points - William Kelley (Wine Advocate, July 2021)"Glowing lively purple, very racy, with a bouquet to match. I like the higher slope wines chez Verdet as there is enough density behind, yet retaining a welcome elegance. Fine length." 93 points - Jasper Morris MW (Inside Burgundy, March 2021)" This too is attractively cool, elegant and pure with its aromatic profile of violet, lilac, rose petal and dark currant that is trimmed in subtle wood and earth whiffs. There is fine detail to the vibrant and tautly muscular flavors that possess a caressing mouthfeel while delivering finale length on the balanced and youthfully austere finale. This is a lovely combination of finesse
