Thibault Liger-Belair - Nuits-Saint-Georges Les Saint Georges 2019
Decanter: 96 Points
As close to grand cru as one will find in Nuits-St-Georges. The vines were planted over 75 years ago, yielding a powerful, majestic wine with just a little sauvage edge. There is a compelling savoury note on the nose, along with dense mulberry fruit. On the palate, there is great density and firm tannins, but there is also exuberance and charm, even at such a youthful age. This will continue to improve for decades to come.
Burghound: 94 Points
A brooding nose displays notes of both red and dark berries, game, newly turned earth and a whiff of anise character. There is very good underlying tension to the sleek, detailed and tautly muscular flavors that also conclude in a decidedly austere, compact and mildly warm finish. This powerful and vaguely rustic effort will also require ample patience to arrive at its full maturity. Excellent.
