A good depth of medium purple colour. A reductive nose. Slightly spicy, and peppery, with delicious dark fruit. Lively crunchy fruit, dark raspberries with a strawberry high note. Some acidity, with a rhubarb note, so I suspect variable ripeness – which of course can lead to fascinating aromatics in maturity. Drink from 2026-2031.
The 2021 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Aux Cras has turned out very well, offering up aromas of rose petals, raspberries, plums, orange zest and spices, followed by a medium-bodied, supple and seamless palate that's fleshy and melting, concluding with a mouthwatering, perfumed finish.
