Score 94/100 · Drink 2019-2034, Antonio Galloni, Wine Advocate, Apr 2012

The 2009 Nuits St. Georges Clos des Forets Saint Georges comes across as dark, brooding and totally intense. Black cherries, tar, licorice, smoke and menthol are some of the many notes that are woven together in this rich, deep wine. There is a baritone register to the fruit that is absolutely gorgeous. The powerful, structured finish begs for considerable cellaring and suggests a long life of great drinking lies ahead. Anticipated maturity: 2019-2034. I was blown away by Domaine de l’Arlot’s 2009s when I tasted them from bottle. Most of the wines came in at the high end or above my projected scores from barrel. I found a purity and frankness in these wines that was compelling. Various American importers, including: A Daniel Johnnes Selection imported by Michael Skurnik Wines, Syosset, NY, tel.

Good bright, dark red. Raspberry liqueur, truffle and chocolate on the inviting nose. Smooth and creamy, with compelling sweetness to the concentrated raspberry and chocolate flavors. The wine's mineral and pepper notes and substantial tannins give it a good spine for aging.

Quite deep crimson. Smells rather cheesy. Not pure at all! Rustic tannins. Where is all that mellifluous fruit? (JR)
