Totally opaque colour; viande, bramble and dark fruit on the nose, but not really opening up at all. A subdued roast lamb?; I suppose this is a characteristic NSG, but the taste is a little too rustic for me. Quite good mouth feel, but very drying on the back palate. In all honesty, this is very well made village wine, and I can appreciate the winemaking that has gone into it but the overall effect is rather coarse.

Tasted at the domaine. Riper sweeeter fruit here compared to the 2016s, clearly showing the vintage. Fresh and savoury but there is a little dryness on the finish.
