Note di degustazione
The 2011 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Saint-Georges 1er Cru has a potent leafy bouquet, an incongruous "old sock" malodorous tincture that rather puts me off! Fortunately that dissipates with time, developing preferable tobacco and sous-bois notes. I would just like more fruit. The palate has supple tannin on the entry. There is more flesh than the aromatics suggest, a fine bead of acidity but it just tapers towards the finish. Not bad, but I would liked more substance considering the vineyard in question. Tasted at the Gouges retrospective at La Cabotte.

Bright limpid red. Complex nose that is still rather hidden and introvert. Lots of fresh fruit washes over the palate. Enormous energy and impressive breadth of ripeness. For the moment it's a little too raw for comfort but should certainly get there in the end. (JR)
Mid ruby. Really quite pale already. Jewelly sweet notes on the nose. Brightly etched fruit though still unresolved. Marked acidity at the moment. (JR)
Moderately saturated medium red. Tight, pure nose offers restrained scents of cherry, flowers and peppery spices. Then sweet but taut in the mouth; impressively concentrated owing to the very low yield here but quite closed and hard to taste today. Perfumed and powerful wine but ungiving, and showing less sweetness than the Vaucrains. I'd hold this for five years.
