Too young but very nice, textbook burgundy with a lot of whole cluster, slightly hard tannins

Further proof of the possibilities of Nuits Saint Georges, the De L'Arlot '14 was earthy and intense, showing dark berries and moist soil with floral funk and savory minerality. On the palate, I found youthfully angular textures with sappy persistence, showing dark red berry fruit and a mix of gripping acidity and fine tannin. It finished long on dark red fruit, hints of undergrowth and inner floral tones. The Forets is full of potential, and just needs a few years in the cellar.

Oct 13th, 2021Just opened and will need time air/time to properly evaluate. Trying to gauge the 2014’s to help get a read on the 2017’s. Lovely so far, with more of that cherried-meatiness I typically associate with the vineyard.

Wow. Bramble, bright cherry, slightly tannic. Will be stunning in a few years.

Jul 26th, 2017Very similar to the 2013 but definitely a little more acidic. Was expecting it to be more opulent but it fell a little short.
