  Appearance: Bright and clear, it has light ruby color, with wide garnet rims and legs.
  Nose: Clean, with medium intensity aromas of red fruit of raspberry and cherry, black fruit of plum, mineral notes of earth, oak notes of smoke, kernel notes of dark chocolate, maturity notes of mushroom. The wine is developing.
  Palate: Dry with medium (+) acidity, the wine has medium tannin of ripe and silky in texture, medium alcohol and medium (-) body, demonstrating medium intensity of flavors including red fruit of raspberry and cherry, oak notes of smoke, mineral notes of earth, herbal notes of tobacco leaf. The wine has a medium (+) length.
  Conclusion: Good quality Nuits-St-Georges with a decent intensity on the nose showing nice complexity, the wine is elegant, balanced with good structure, having quite robust tannin despite its age, and the palate has reasonable concentration and a fairly long finish. Ready to drink now, it can benefit from further ageing of another 3-5 years.

  Tasted alongside several 03 and 04 American pinots. Nobody could pick this out as a burg. Typical of 03 burgs from good producers - the wines are very fruit loaded, soil or terroir is mostly absent, wines are delicious but not typical burgundies. It's what the weather gave them that year. No complaints from me. I loved the wine. It had a better finish than most of the American's which included several 03 Kistlers and the Peter Michael.
