The 2016 Nuits Saint-Georges Clos de Thorey 1er Cru has a lot of toasty oak on the nose plus a touch of reduction. The aromatics are opaque and as a consequence it is not as engaging as some of its peers, though there is attractive whole bunch influence. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, moderate acidity, a little chewy in texture with dark berry fruit mixed with spicebox and white pepper. At least there is fine cohesion on the finish - give it 4 or 5 years in bottle. Tasted blind at the 2016 Burgfest tasting. (Neal Martin, Vinous, October 2019)
