2002 Laurent Dominique Nuits St.Georges Cuvée Tradition

By on June 30, 2005 #asides

Medium, medium-plus cherry red – no purple highlights. Monsieur Laurent seems to have taken his foot off the accelerator a little when it comes to the oaking of this wine, yes, it’s still a little toasty – medium toast – but the oak mingles well with the fine and creamy red fruit notes, particularly about 1 hour after opening – nice. Very well balanced, excellent acidity and whilst I’d like a hint more density there’s a nice creamy length. I don’t think it told me much about Nuits, but this is almost good and was certainly enjoyed.

No mention on the label, but the cork has V.V. embossed on the side – so we’ll assume vieille vignes. Medium-plus ruby colour with just a sign of maturity at the lighter rim. The nose has a residue of sweet toasty oak and a slightly funky note. Given some aeration the funk recedes revealing deep plummy fruit. Bursts across the palate with concentrated fruit, but harsh and prickly acidity. Medium-plus length and nice tannins. Another curate’s egg.
