Cote de Nuits
u: 6cm, slight staining to capsule, staining, discoloration and slight nicking to partially unaffixed label, good color and clarity
"Bricked through. Unlike many '49s today that have begun to tire, this remains agreeably vibrant and relatively fresh and though the nose displays some tertiary development, it does not dominate. Beautiful spice, earth and lovely sous bois aromas lead to rich, sweet, detailed and velvety medium-bodied flavors that coat the palate on the gorgeously long finish. This delivers the elegance and refinement of the '49 vintage at its best and overall, this is a stunning effort. Tasted only once." Burghound, 95 pts. 04/08
