Nuits St Georges Murgers 1er Cru 2007

(these vines are more than 60 years old) Good deep red. Lovely pure aromas of blueberry, blackberry, violet and minerals. Juicy and precise but tightly wound, with a floral element and plenty of spicy Francois Freres oak showing today. I find this quite closed, even tough today, and in need of a racking. Finishes with very good length, but this is extremely unevolved.

Score: 90
