Serious concentration and depth of flavour, an imperious wine, dense, structured but excellent quality of fruit and tannins, ripe juicy red berry and bramble flavours, shades of coffee bean.

91-94/100Stephen Tanzer,Vinous
Good full ruby-red. Superripe aromas of black raspberry, dark chocolate and leather; a bit less minerally and floral than the Saint-Georges. Powerful, brooding and large-scaled on the palate but currently locked up tight and showing less sweetness than the Saint-Georges. But this big boy really saturates the palate. With its serious tannic clout and leathery soil tones, this is classic Nuits-Saint-Georges.
