Côtes de Nuits Villages, Burgundy, France. Pinot noir. 13%. Cork. Approx $65.While its Southern sibling was faded and undrinkable, this was quite glorious. It shows few signs of fatigue and curiously there's something on the nose that reminds me of Central Otago. It's plush, spiced and there's a wonderful undercurrent of wilted rose petals and black tea leaves. I can smell stems and earth. Perhaps the nose is a touch quiet, but it does want for complexity. Clean and convincing in the mouth, unfurling and expansive and a defining seam of spiced, sappy tannins. 91. Now - 2015+
