I have had this wine for some time; not that I know what I was keeping it for. So tonight, I decided it was about time I opened it. It was a good wine and a nice pick-up for a midweek tipple.
David Duband, 'Louis Auguste', Bourgogne Hautes Cotes de Nuits, 2004, France.
Beautiful light crisp wine. The nose has plenty of apricots, nectarine and stone fruits with hints of tangerine, orchards and some honey. The palate retains the stone fruit and apricot but also has elements of freshly pressed apples. The honeyed characters appear on the palate too. Crisp acidity, nice length and balance. Good dry wine - well poised. Glad I am drinking this now; I can't help but wonder if this could have tasted better if it was a year or so younger. 3.5/5 (12.5% abv)
