Note di degustazione
Dark red-ruby. Wild, reduced nose offers black raspberry, underbrush and hints of chocolate and tar. Then sweet, supple and creamy in the mouth, with excellent energy to the flavors of dark berries, mocha and iron. Finishes with substantial but very fine tannins and subtle oak. Very Nuits from a ripe year.

The 2005 Nuits-St.-Georges Les Cailles represents Saouma and Brakir’s first interpretation of this great site. The results display a rarified, refined structure and mineral character that familiarity with other renditions of this vineyard would lead one to expect. The nose is quite gamey and the palate vividly marked by chalk, pencil lead and wet stone, but all the while there is a glorious abundance of black cherry and red currant fruit with the sort of layering of distilled, liqueur-like and fresh manifestations by now recognizable as house style. This finishes with positively ethereal florality and, heavenly purity and length, laying down a sumptuous carpet of fruit and a grand mosaic of minerals. Importer: Vintus, Pleasantville, NY; tel.
