2017 Hautes Cotes de Nuits

A pretty and very fresh nose combines notes of both red and dark cherry with an airy array of floral nuances. Once again there is good intensity and vibrancy to the slightly bigger and richer flavors that possess a bit better depth and persistence on the mildly more structured finale. This is very good for its level and is worth considering provided you can allow it at least a few years of cellar time.

The 2017 Hautes Côtes de Nuits is excellent, bursting with aromas of ripe cherries, cassis, espresso roast and grilled meats. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with a fine chassis of chalky tannin, ripe acids and a long finish. This certainly punches above its weight for the appellation.
