A retaste of the 2014 Nuits-Saint-Georges Les Herbues from Nicolas Faure in Copenhagen .. even better than in June. The bouquet offer a symphony of red and darker forest berries – very detailed berry notes backed by a nice mineral note. On the palate lovely juicy fruit – intense, detailed and refined. It’s focused, very pure and the finish is impressively long for this level. The expression is quite unique with it’s airy fruit and the very organic and detailed berry notes … lovely complexity First and foremost a wine with a tremendous drinkability – you want an extra glas, a bottle more, and then some cases for the cellar. Magnificent …
