Vintage information 1993:

A polarised vintage - both the wines and the opinions. 70% were a little dilute and had too much acidity - the rest, which are by no means ready yet are sometimes amongst the best of the last 20 years. From a good producer even the bourgogne blancs and rouges are still excellent.

 

1993 Ambroise Bertrand, Nuits St.Georges Rue de ChauxDec. 2006
(From magnum) Medium, medium-plus colour. The nose is quite estery, masking any real depth – at least at the start – very slowly this lifts giving a 20 minute window of nice red fruit and the start of a cedar note, but later becomes very high-toned again. The palate has a fresh yet concentrated stance with a heavy emphasis of nice black fruit. The finish is understated but long. An interesting wine that for me – apart from that 20 minute window – was spoiled by the aromatics.
