2007 Domaine Robert Chevillon Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Les Cailles - France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru (4/14/2012)
Something about this wine made me go right out and purchase several more bottles after a first taste 2 months ago. Opened and aired in the glass for 30 mintues. Darker ruby hue. Fragrant, vinous nose of blueberry, raspberry, Pekoe, iodine, forest floor. Youthfully-charged layers of smoky black plum and raspberry fruit with a little bit of tartness on the palate mixed with iron, mineral, brambles, and oolong notes. Strong tannic structure smoothed by abundant primary fruit and balanced by energizing acidity. Finish was a recurring wave of rich, vivacious blue fruit gripped by earth and mineral, inviting another sip. Lots of capacity for aging but pretty darn delicious right now. (92 pts.)
