2016 Nuits St Georges Les Cailles

The 2016 Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru Les Cailles has a sense of completeness and harmony on the nose that is utterly engaging. This is so pure and focused, a mixture of red and black fruit interlaced by cold stone, almost slate-like scents. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy black fruit, more masculine that the nose suggests with good grip on the almost stern finish. But there is a lot of fruit packed into this Les Cailles, and it will reward those with the wherewithal to cellar for 5 or 6 years. Dec 2017, www.robertparker.com
