In a very nice place. Red berries and cherries, some earth and iron. Nice balance and proportion and s silky texture. The finish is long with lingering spice.

Decent burgundy at this young age, but for the money, not worth it. This was tasted side by side with the 2016 Kistler Russian River Piniot at a dinner, and everybody preferred the cheaper Kistler. The acidity is very high, but the minerality and earthiness is minimal. This reminds me more of a Oregon pinot than an old world Burgundy. I would not spend this much money (around $80 USD/bottle) for this wine. Maybe $40-50 at the very most, but even that is pushing it.

Tasting at Domaine Faiveley (Nuits Saint George): Most intense nose in the line up so far. Lifted red fruits with floral and spice notes. Palate is so well constructed -- smooth, spice-filled black cherry with velevty tannin. Spice is really intense here and the length is very good. 90-92

Wine was a little off-balanced for this premier cru. Ripe red fruits did not have enough tannin and structure to support it. Not worth the money.

Faiveley tasting at the domaine. Candied fruit, cherry, minerals and spice. Delicate and fruit forward.
