2010 Domaine de L'Arlot Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Clos des Forêts St. Georges (750ml)

"The intense floral nuances are also evident here as they add breadth to the pungently earthy dark berry fruit aromas. As is typically the case, this is quite serious, even brooding with rich, dense and powerful medium weight plus flavors that possess more prominent tannins and outstanding length on the mouth coating, dusty, austere and impressively long finish. This superb effort will require plenty of cellar time to arrive at its apogee but should be well worth the wait.”  Outstanding - Allen Meadows, Burghound (1/13) "The 2010 Nuits St. Georges Clos des Forêts St.-Georges is striking. Freshly cut flowers, spices and red berries are some of the many notes that are woven together. Though deceptively understated at first, the Forêts St-Georges has plenty of underlying Nuits structure. A crystalline, totally pure finish laced with rose petals, spices and licorice wraps around the palate in stunning style. (Drink between 2020-2030)” 93-95, Antonio Galloni, Vinous (2/12)
