Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of several hours. The 2017 “Les Saint Georges” pours a deep ruby color with a translucent core; medium viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with gorgeous notes of raspberry, strawberry, cranberry, pomegranate, red flowers, sous bois, mushroom, and exotic spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. The nose alone is worthy of songs. Drink now through 2037.

O that heady Côtes de Nuits perfume...it's almost as if you can smell cherries through their entire life process, from seed to blossom to ripe fruit to orchard decay. In a fantastic place!

Not quite La Romanee depth but enjoyable comparison.
