Tasting Notes
Vibrant deep ruby, the nose is enticing with rich fruit and subtle spice notes evolving. Fresh red berry and darker cherry fruit flavours energise the palate, the mouthfeel is silky and supporting oak notes are well integrated, some light caramel and allspice. Lovely balance and a very approachable Nuits-Saint-Georges exhibiting the powerful fruit intensity of this appellation and hinting at further complexity with age.Cellaring
