1988 Nuits St Georges Les St Georges

The most forward of Chicotot's 1988s was the 1988 Nuits St.-Georges Les Saint-Georges, which had a fabulous bouquet of black, plum-like fruit, smoky oak, and licorice. In the mouth, it has exceptional ripeness, full body, awesome extract, and a firm, tannic, hard finish. I would advise 4 to 5 years of cellaring, given the construction of Chicotot's wines.
