Note di degustazione
Bright ruby-red. Black raspberry, mocha, licorice and earth on the nose. Sweet, supple and oaky; much more approachable than the Ligniers' top few estate bottlings but without quite the energy of the Lignier vinification. And the oak element is more apparent here in the slightly charry, even bitter-edged finish. Doesn't quite come alive today. Will time leaven the oak element and soften these dusty tannins? My score gives this wine the benefit of some doubt.

The 2013 Nuits St Georges les Didiers Cuvée Hospice de Nuits, which is aged entirely in new oak, has an engaging vanilla and coca-tinged bouquet that is well defined. The palate is medium-bodied and clearly showing a lot of oak vanillin at the moment with a long candied finish. It would be nice if there was less new oak here, but that’s the way the Hospice de Nuits rolls. Compared with the 2012, I would probably have bid on last year's barrel.
