TASTING
With a medium ruby color, this Nuits-Saint-Georges 2014 is a balanced and concentrated red wine. The nose is clean and intense, with aromas of black cherries, blackberries, and blackcurrant. The palate also reveals flavors of sweet spices like cinnamon. The tannins are soft and silky, while the finish is long and fruity. It is approachable now while able to age gracefully for several years.
