A more backwards bottle than one from a different source. A great wine that just needs time to come around and/or lots of air. Meaty and masculine but still fresh. Wish I had more to age.

Palate is incredible with red fruit and is full body. Nose is opened up a bit after 2 hours of opening. A lot of spices and some soy sauce note. It needs perhaps another 10 years in cellar.

(Chevillon Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru "Les St. Georges") This is a meaty, wild, dense concentrated animalistic wine. Still though it had that fantastic Chevillon elegance. Does anybody make more elegant Nuits? The fruit was on the darker side of the spectrum and very concentrated. This was evil, brooding wine with style, flair and sap. One problem was that it was showed up with all of the other Grand Cru's. Probably should have left this out and added another Grand Cru . . .although it was educational and really showed the difference in refinement and class between 1er Cru and Grand Cru. A lovely wine that is drinking very well now but could use 5-10 more years in the cellar. The 1993 Les St. Georges is still my all time favorite Chevillon.
