2014 Meo-Camuzet Nuits St. Georges Aux Boudots, Cotes de Nuits, Burgundy

Bright ruby-red. Knockout nose combines blackberry, black raspberry, wild strawberry, pepper, licorice and menthol. Dense, sappy and concentrated, conveying an impression of power and a lovely balance of sweet fruit and fresh acidity. Finishes firm and persistent, with a black pepper accent. Jean-Nicolas Méo told me that he vinified this wine with about 12% whole clusters to give it more structure and length and to counter its old-viney sweetness.
