Georges Noellat, Nuits Saint Georges Boudots

Georges Noellat, Nuits Saint Georges Boudots(from a 1. 2 ha parcel). This is very firmly reduced and impossible to judge aromatically. The supple middle weight flavors retain a fine sense of verve and precision that is also present on the impressively intense backend where the abundant dry extract does an excellent job of buffering the firm tannic spine as well as imparting a seductive texture. This should also drink well young but reward 10 to 12 years of bottle age. (90 93) 2023+

Ends with a mouthwatering

lees and buttered toast

dry and citrusy finish where the wood telegraphed by the nose slowly reemerges

The effect is graceful and focused

Give this wine plenty of time to evolve and flesh out in your cellar

Dark and imposing

a mixture of red and black fruit laced with subtle marine/seaweed notes

it offers up a perfumed bouquet of sweet red and black raspberry-like fruit

full and sweet flavors that offer a bit more phenolic ripeness and concentration as well as better finishing intensity

volume and complexity
