A beautifully complex nose offers up notes of red currant, blue pinot fruit, plum and plenty of pungent earth nuances. The velvety yet strikingly intense flavors brim with sap that renders the mid-palate more approachable though it's quite clear from the very firm and robust finish that this is going to require plenty of cellar time before it arrives at its apogee. Noteworthy quality here in a built-to-age package. ♥ - Comments: Outstanding

The 2010 Nuits St. Georges Les St. Georges is utterly captivating. Layers of exotic fruit literally burst from the glass. Mint, graphite, freshly cut flowers and spices develop in the glass, adding considerable depth and nuance. I especially like the way the fruit builds towards the huge, powerful finish. This is a dazzling effort. Even more importantly, it makes a compelling case for the upgrading of Les St. Georges to Grand Cru status. Anticipated maturity: 2025-2045. -Antonio Galloni

Deep, bright red. Wild aromas of black cherry, squid ink and earth. The mid-palate offers almost painful intensity to the energetic flavors of black cherry, iodine, spices and bitter chocolate, but there's also terrific volume here. Perhaps most impressive today on the explosively long, vibrant finish, which offers superb focus and subtle persistence. This needs longer elevage. From vines planted in the mid-1940s.
