Fully mature Nuits St. Georges, no decant needed, quite aromatic with red and black fruit, freshly tilled earth, cedar, truffles, incredible freshness with medium body palate of the same red and black fruit, cola, soil and pepper with powdery, well integrated and resolved tannins. Medium finish otherwise would give it 94-95 pts.

Moderately ripe black fruit, pine needles, earth, a foresty freshness. The palate is medium-bodied, with old-vine sappy concentration and some gloss to the sticky tannin. Finishes juicy but not especially long.

Boom. Knockout Nuits-St.-Georges. Just about the textbook profile you want from the appellation. More iron fist than velvet glove, but it's not a rustic wine, just a wine with lots of power and solidity. The near-centenarian vines surely contribute to its sense of density. It is starting to show some bottle development with a whiff of something animalesque and very old style - a bit of gaminess and barnyard funk. The fruit profile is jet black and still seethes with primary sweetness. Profound. About as great a Nuits-St.-Georges as I have had in a long time.
