2017 Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair Nuits St Georges Aux Cras Premier Cru

Other Reviews....
A restrained, cool and pure nose features notes of herbal tea, spice, earth, red currant and a whiff of the sauvage. The focused, detailed and punchy middle weight flavors possess a fleshy mid-palate yet the stunningly long finish is youthfully austere, compact and linear. As such this delicious but tightly wound effort will also need at least some bottle age. In a word, excellent.

Aromas of cassis, wild berries and rich soil mingle with savory nuances of grilled game bird, dark chocolate spices and smoky new oak in a complex bouquet, introducing the 2017 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Aux Cras, a medium to full-bodied wine with good depth and concentration at the core, structured around a firm chassis of chewy tannin that will likely resolve considerably by the time is bottled. The raw materials are present and the balance is excellent, but the wine's structure was hard to read when I tasted it.

The 2017 Nuits Saint-Georges Aux Cras 1er Cru contains no whole cluster and had not been racked. It has a very intense bouquet with layers of black cherry, black olive and crushed stone, almost completely enveloping the senses. The palate has sorbet-like freshness on the entry and is very effervescent in style, more Vosne than Nuits Saint-Georges, concluding with a candied and utterly seductive finish. Superb.
