Still very youthful, dark color with mostly black cherry fruits and plums on the nose mixed with hints of earth. The tannins are very apparent and have taken over much of the fruit and while this is very Nuits in overall character, I doubt much fruit will be present when the tannin fully resolves itself. A bit of a disappointment given the vintage.

A nice wine. Some good fruit flavor on the attack, but the rest is pretty simple; too simple. I like more structure to my wine and a longer finish. I do, however, think that this wine presents a pretty good value for the money (around $35).

11:00 just opened. Lots of gamey, woodsy and truffles on the nose. The body is lithe but still has plenty of tannic backbone to it. Sweet crab apple dominates the palate. Tangy finish. Excellent. 1:00: Wood smoke and eucalyptus dominates the nose. Very inviting, intriguing. Still quite tart on the back end. Maybe has a while yet to open? Next day: really pretty, quite charming.
