Tasting notes
Matured in 60% new oak, the 2015 Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru Aux Cras has an opulent bouquet with blueberry and black cherry fruit soaring from the glass, the oak neatly integrated, although I detected just a little warmth here that detracted from the delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannin. There is clearly a solid backbone to this Nuits Saint Georges that lends it a Morey-Saint-Denis-like personality. There is ample blackberry and raspberry notes infused with white pepper and sage, fanning out in confident fashion towards the detailed finish. This is a sturdy and forthright 2015 that will drink beautifully over 15-20 years. This wine is superb. Dec 2016, www.robertparker.com, Drink: 2019-2039

Here there is no reductive funk to the elegant, ultra-fresh and pure aromas of essence of red berry fruit, spice and soft earth scents. I love the delineation of the supple yet sleek and highly energetic flavors that brim with minerality that carries over to the dusty and balanced finish where a hint of bitter cherry arises.
