finishing long with bags of energy
utterly thrilling Barbaresco

A barrel sample with a deep garnet-purple color

Liger Belair Nuits St. Georges Aux Cras 2017 1.5L Sine Qua Non finishing long with bags of"A restrained, cool and pure nose features notes of herbal tea, spice, earth, red currant and a whiff of the sauvage. The focused, detailed and punchy middle weight flavors possess a fleshy mid palate yet the stunningly long finish is youthfully austere, compact and linear. As such this delicious but tightly wound effort will also need at least some bottle age. In a word, excellent." Burghound, BH93, tasted 1 2020
