2009 Nuits St Georges Les Pagets

Good deep, bright red. Aromas of chocolatey oak, tobacco and mint. Big, round, solid and rich, but I wanted more energy and lift. Finishes with big but ripe tannins that will not get in the way of early enjoyment. Very 2009 in its creamy, easygoing texture but, as with many wines from this vintage, I don't sense a hidden dimension here.
