Les Hauts Poirets Nuits St. Georges Pinot Noir

Not made by Henri Jayer, but brought by Pierre Cavin, who is the nephew.

Firmer berry fruit with more elegance than expected for NSG. could use another year to soften some more.

Russian River east....

Great value. Great taste. Classic. @85添第

Stunning Burgundy - beautiful nose silky tannins rich flavors of strawberry coffee and exotic spices with an endless finish

A young NSG @ £65 drinking well young but will definitely improve given 5+ more years 😉

🍇 Pinot Noir

🍷 Deep dark vibrant ruby

👃 Peppered blackberry, loamy soil & red cherry cola w/ leather, mint smoke, light oak, violet & red berry fruit tones

👄 Med body of rich earthy blackberry in fine dry tannins & med acidity w/ tart red berry fruits, a pinch of mocha & red cherry

🎯 Long, slight dry, blackberry driven finale w/ red fruits popping through & a hit of fresh red bell pepper

Fully opaque ruby core fading to a garnet rim. Expressive nose of candied cherries, pipe tobacco, mint, and cloves. Intense concentration on the palate featuring red fruit and pleasing minerality leading to a long and somewhat herbal finish. This Bobby Kacher selection has retained a surprisingly firm tannin spine and it definitely benefitted from air, so would recommend a decant of an hour or so. Spent 18 months in barrel with 100% new oak this vintage. I continue to enjoy the ‘05’s and suspect this wine is just now entering its drinking window with many years still ahead of it. 13.5% ABV.

Big nose of strawberries and mushrooms - rich fruit with lively red fruit notes and soft tannins - long finish

A bit rustic but satisfying. Vintage 2001.
