Liger-Belair Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Saint-Georges - 2009 (750ml) Victoria with dense ruby/purple colorThe 2009 Nuits St. Georges Les St. Georges bursts from the glass with a dark, powerful voice. This is classic Les St. Georges. At times a bit on the rustic side, the wine makes up for its occasional firmness with tons of fruit, massive structure and tons of personality. There is an implosive quality that suggests the 2009 is holding back much of its potential. I cant wait to taste this with another few years of bottle age. Anticipated maturity: 2019
