finishing long with bags of energy
and a distinctive personality that is elegant while at the same time powerful and substantial
it’s layered and refined on the nose
The full-bodied palate has a rock-solid structure of firm yet beautifully ripe tannins and just enough freshness to support the tightly wound black fruits
It has a brilliant bouquet with incredibly well-defined red fruit laced with cedar and truffle
Liger Belair Nuits St. Georges Aux Cras 2017 1.5L Sine Qua Non finishing long with bags of"A restrained, cool and pure nose features notes of herbal tea, spice, earth, red currant and a whiff of the sauvage. The focused, detailed and punchy middle weight flavors possess a fleshy mid palate yet the stunningly long finish is youthfully austere, compact and linear. As such this delicious but tightly wound effort will also need at least some bottle age. In a word, excellent." Burghound, BH93, tasted 1 2020
