Domaine Faiveley Nuits-St-Georges Les Porets-Saint-Georges 2018

Red-ruby. Very ripe aromas of cassis, licorice and flowers enlivened by cooler crushed stone and mineral notes. Sweet, suave and fine-grained; primary, juicy and densely packed. Finishes with substantial but refined tannins and excellent length.

Very promising. Hervet noted that Faiveley vinified most of the 2009s with about 25% whole clusters with the objective of "civilizing the tannins.
