Wine Safari score: 95/100 Greg Sherwood MW: I approached this new wine with a little trepidation as I know all too well from previous experience that Ian Naude’s wines always need a few years in bottle to settle in and really start to fan their peacock tail.

Wine Safari Score: 91-92+/100 Greg Sherwood MW. Made from a blend of three separate plots, this Nuits is deep, dark and broody, a very serious offering with layers of savoury black fruits and a smoky graphite minerality.

Score: 95-97, Jasper Morris, MW, Inside Burgudy
From the upper part of Les Treux. Glowing purple. The nose is discreet. The palate does the Echezeaux latticework thing with lots of detail, and exceptional length. Goes on dancing, tiptoeing, across the palate for a long time. Just one barrel. The fruit stays with me.
Wine Safari Score: 94-96/100 Greg Sherwood MW. A very classy regal expression with an intricate aromatics of violet perfume and ripe berry fruit notes, all punctuated by a subtle, spicy, dusty minerality.
*ALL PRICES IN BOND* 88 points, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy: Darkish sombre crimson. The nose has a gentler red fruit, there is a significant ball of soft red fruit in the mouth, strawberries and a few raspberries, some oak at the back, acidity not especially present, tannins properly ripened.
BRUT - GRAND CRU.... For those who love elegant fine chiselled champagne the Obsidienne is a revelation.
