with melted tannins

Coming almost all from the Chapouin lieu-dit (it gets a small bit from La Janasse)

Should cruise for two decades

very composed and complex in every respect

gently tannic finish

2013 Domaine Faiveley Nuits-St-Georges 1er Cru "Les Saint Georges" with melted tanninsHealthy medium red. High pitched perfume of raspberry, cranberry and spices complicated by deeper notes of smoky underbrush. Juicy, nervy, brisk and tight; this was silkier and fleshier in the barrel a year ago but is distinctly imploded today. The tart cranberry and pomegranate flavors are further sharpened by a note of rhubarb. Very intense wine, but its strong acidity and firm edged tannins call for considerable patience. (ST)
