(Potel Nicolas Nuits St.Georges) A wine that took a little time for me to warm to, but it was worth the wait. Medium cherry red colour. The nose starts very uncouth, high toned and alcoholic. It takes over a hour from opening (no decanting) to start showing a high-toned, fresh and piercing red fruit nose. From the start the palate was fresh, round, nicely concentrated and had very pleasant tannins - a little grain, but not particularly drying. Creamy fruit on the finish too. Next time I'd decant for an hour - otherwise wait two or three years.
