2023 Nuits St Georges Vieilles Vignes

The 2023 Nuits Saint-Georges Vieilles Vignes is a blend of domaine fruit from Les Plateaux and fully destemmed purchased fruit. A touch of licorice emerges on the nose, a little riper than the other cuvées though it manages to retain from delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy black fruit notes infused with graphite. This is a bit austere toward the finish. It just needs to manifest a little more brightness and "éclat."
