Here too the animated nose is prominently spicy with its array of poached plum, violet, rose petal and sandalwood aromas. There is more volume and power if a bit less refinement to the punchy and well-detailed flavors that are blessed with an abundance of dry extract that imparts a sappy mouthfeel on the powerful, highly complex and manifestly persistent finish.

The 2018 Nuit-Saint-Georges La Richemone Vieilles Vignes "Cuvée Ultra" has a complex bouquet that combines red and black fruit, brown spices, sea cave and light oyster shell aromas, all very well delineated. The palate is defined by svelte and supple tannins, finely pitched acidity and a very elegant and disarmingly pure and persistent finish. This is an outstanding wine from Perrot-Minot, with huge potential.
