2016 Nuits-Saint-Georges Les Charbonnières Vieilles Vignes

Allen Meadows' Burghound: A fresh, restrained and ripe nose is comprised by notes of various dark berries and plenty of earth nuances along with floral and game whiffs. There is very good punch to the delicious and nicely concentrated medium weight flavors that evidence solid richness and impressive complexity on the lingering and balanced finish. There is a bit of acid tang but my sense is that it will slowly recede as the supporting tannins resolve. In sum, this is an excellent Nuits villages and worth checking out provided that you have the patience to allow it to age out. - Allen Meadows, Aug. 2019
