Domaine Faiveley Nuits St Georges 1er Cru Les Damodes 2007

Was very curious to try a wine picked up for a bargain at a leading wine store in Hong Kong. This was the Domaine Faiveley Nuits St Georges 1er Cru Les Damodes 2007. Overall impressions were positive.

The nose on this wine is exceptional. The mushroom, truffle and overall earthiness really stood out for me and was reminiscent of an aged Chambolle-Musigny or other wines from Nuits St Georges. Colour wise this is cloudy ruby red is how I would describe it. Slight smoky red fruit flavours greet you and on the finish a nice smooth finish though slightly short - the overall balance, elegance, and the lovely nose more than compensates. This from a lesser successful vintage for Burgundy Reds from 2007 as well is all the more impressive.

Price versus quality 18/20. Overall 18/20.

I suggest hunting this one down and getting a few bottles.
