2007 Nuits St Georges Les St Georges

Bright, deep red with ruby tones. Dark berries and black cherry on the nose and palate, complemented by licorice and bitter chocolate and lifted by a pungent mineral element. Sweeter and fatter than the Cailles today, with superb intensity and the refined texture of a grand cru. The vibrant, rising whiplash of a finish features a bitter cherry flavor sharpened by building minerality. Really an essence of this seductive vintage.
