The 1959 Nuits Saint-Georges Clos de la Maréchale 1er Cru was just degraded by time. Pressed flowers emerge on the stolid nose typical of Faiveley at that time. There are dark berries and singed leather, but this misses the detail and precision of a great old Pinot Noir. The palate is tannic and firm, a bit dry around the edges, with remnants of dark fruit on the leathery finish. Perfectly drinkable, but drink up.
