Hudelot Noellat - Nuits St Georges les Murgers 2018
Inside Burgundy: 92-94 Points
Classic clear ripe purple all in balance. Some fresh plums just to remind you where it comes from, alongside the classic deep raspberry notes of this vintage. Riper perfume but beautifully judged, with a lovely sensual long finish.
A View from the Cellar: 91.5 Points
Though the 2018 Murgers here is 13.8 percent octane, it is a very pure and plummy wine and is not particularly ripe in profile on either the nose or palate. The bouquet wafts from the glass in a primary, but very promising blend of plums, red and black cherries, cocoa powder, a lovely base of soil tones, vanillin oak and a smoky topnote. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and nicely reserved out of the blocks, with a fine core of fruit, excellent balance and grip, buried tannins and a long, nascently complex and focused finish. This is going to be an excellent wine in due course.
