Medium colour. A melange of red fruits on the nose that slowly brings more emphasis to red berry notes. Mouth-filling and showing faint astringency and good acidity. Has the flavour character of a ‘warm vintage’ wine. But is nicely polished.

2006 Arnoux Robert Nuits St.Georges
Medium, medium-plus colour. High-toned, little obvious oak, clear, jellified red and black fruits. This has a lovely silky texture. Behind is understated acidity and a nice length. Far from the depth and complexity of the 2004 and just a hint less ripe. At a decent price it’s a nice buy and a very elegant version of Nuits.
2006 Mischief and Mayhem Nuits St.Georges
Bottled in March, this is almost an equal mix of wine from the north and south of the appellation. Medium
colour. Mineral-edged cherry fruit and some floral, violet notes. Well-balanced acidity and tannin melds
with good fruit. There is a little tannin clinging to the side of your mouth, but it’s supple and ripe.
Just a suggestion of coffee on the finish. This is a good villages.
