Community Tasting Note

  • solana wrote: 93 points

    December 12, 2017 - Lovely minerally aromas of mixed berry compote, oranges, sweet spice and a touch of oak, all with a deep nectar like plushness perfume.
    Deep and full, rich, but not at all heavy on the palate. Rounding with a spiced berry flavor that carries from the start to the long finish. As it goes in the mouth the flavors grow less primary and more interwoven with the oranges, nectar, spice nuances integrating until they are all beautifully blended on the finish. Delicious and a point.
    The only criticism I could make is I would have guessed a top Oregon pinot noir rather than Nuits St Georges if I tasted the wine blind. Not being a terroir purist that does not bother me at all. This note was written an hour after opening the bottle.
