Perrot-Minot Nuits St Georges Ultra 1er Cru La Richemone

2017

Burghound 91-94: Here the densely fruited nose is a bit less floral but even spicier with its cool array of red currant, cherry, spice and earth-scented aromas. There is a bit more concentration and power to the attractively textured medium weight plus flavors thanks to the abundant amount of sappy dry extract that also serves to buffer the superbly long and highly complex finale. While these two wines are qualitatively similar, there is just a bit more depth of material that may ultimately make for a more complete wine.

2018

Burghound 91-94: Here too the animated nose is prominently spicy with its array of poached plum, violet, rose petal and sandalwood aromas. There is more volume and power if a bit less refinement to the punchy and well-detailed flavors that are blessed with an abundance of dry extract that imparts a sappy mouthfeel on the powerful, highly complex and manifestly persistent finish.

2020

Burghound 93-95♥: A cool, restrained and wonderfully elegant and airy nose presents wafting aromas of red currant, plum, dark currant, spice and essence of violet. The super-sleek and seductively textured middle weight flavors brim with both minerality and sappy dry extract that buffers the dense but ultra-fine grain tannins supporting the equally persistent and youthfully austere finish. In a word, marvelous.
