Domaine François Lamarche
2019 Nuits St. Georges "Les Cras" ♥ 1er Cru Red barrelSweet spot Outstanding
Tasting note: An earthier and not nearly as spicy nose is quite attractive nonetheless with its lovely presentation of various red berry fruit aromas that include cherry and currant, along with whiffs of cool earth, game and subtle lavender hints. The vibrant medium weight flavors possess a relatively supple mid-palate that contrasts markedly with the powerful, delineated, tautly muscular and very serious finish that displays magnificent persistence. This is potentially terrific and well-worth seeking out if you have the patience to wait.
