Potel Nicolas

1997 Potel Nicolas Savigny-lès-Beaune Les Dominode

By on December 31, 2002 #asides

Ruby red with just a little amber at the rim. Nose is a very nice combination of high ‘rose’ tones and red and black fruit, tending towards black. There develops some meaty tones with aeration. Quite sweet palate with excellent acidity. Good fruit density, almost with a tinge of orange. Medium tannins, but a wine you definitely won’t regret savouring today. Fine.

Medium ruby colour. Nose of raspberry and red cherry. Furry tannin and reasonable acidity coupled with lovely depth of red fruits. The finish lasts well. Very good.

1997 Potel Nicolas Pommard Les Arvelets

Bright, medium ruby, already a trace of brick at the rim. Nose starts with chunky oak but this disappears after about 20minutes leaving sweet, alcoholic raspberry. The palate is as wide as a motorway, very silky with good fruit. The high but well covered acidity and tannins that creep up on you. Very impressive length. You can happlily drink this now, or leave it another 5 years. Very good.
