A very ripe nose displays hints of mocha

By far the most voluminous of an admittedly modest range

Pungent aromas of wood and reduction give way to bigger yet more seductively textured medium weight flavors that possess a lovely mouthfeel

offering sweet blackcurrant and blueberry liqueur flavors that gain energy and spiciness with air

There's some textural grip to the green apple

Camille Giroud, Nuits Saint Georges Vaucrains Size:6x750ml A very ripe nose displaysCroix generally seems to do very well with this wine and 2009 is no exception because despite the reduction that presently compromises the nose, the depth of material on the extremely rich, full bodied and powerful flavors is simply outstanding. The phenolically ripe tannins are quite firm and while the appellation naturally produces robust wines, this is a big wine even by those standards. Patience required but it should be more than worth the wait.
