If Nuits-Saint-Georges has a gentler side when young (as a contrast to the normal firm tannins), this wine shows it. The tannins are certainly here, but the ripe fruit shines through more than balances that dryness. Fresh strawberries and red plums round this off.——R.V.(3/1/2008)—— 92

This Les Thorey, hard by the town of Nuits-St.-Georges, is a vineyard that shows the minerality as well as the firmness of good wines from this commune. It has power rather than charm, a solid, foursquare wine that needs four or five years to develop. ——R.V.(3/1/2007)—— 89
