  Imported by Vineyard Brands.
  
  Color: Dark ruby. Obvious dark color for a NSJ. This could be Syrah. Cold soak!
  
  Nose: Distinctly closed and unevolved. Shy nose of black griotte cherry and earth.
  
  Pal: Med-full body, 15% alc (!). Good concentration. Ripe mod tannins but tart finish. Needs more age to integrate, harmonize, and develop/reveal it's complexity.
  
  Now: 91
  At peak: 92-94. (2028-2035)
  A great vineyard, a great producer. This Nuits St. Georges will show best 10-18+ years after the vintage (from a cool cellar).

  Still a little tight but great depth of flavor. Hold for 2-3 years

  Jammy blackberry on the nose. Deeply and densely fruit forward, with fine, drying tannins on the finish. This has an elegant texture and weight on the palate, but its too dense and ripe for my tastes.

  2020 Burgundies II: Côte de Nuits reds (and some whites): very dark, almost purple, and almost full-bodied in the glass. a whiff of alcohol greets the nose, which is then dominated by dark fruit: black plums, cassis, black cherries; quick wafts damp forest floor and crushed flowers add some depth. in the mouth it is big, dry and with ample structure, with good balance at the moment. the long finish, with subtleties of fruit and spice notes hint at some of the complexity that is yet to be revealed.
  
  this wine did not square at all with my experience with Nuits-St-Georges… and at first i did wonder whether in fact it was a Pinot! can't say that i got a good read on it at the moment. it clearly needs more time, perhaps quite a lot of it.
  
  15% AbV (!!!)
