HUBERT LIGNIER 'LES POISETS' NUITS-SAINT-GEORGES 2012 1.5L

89 Points - Stephen Tanzer - Vinous - “(13% natural alcohol, from a crop down 50% from normal, as the Ligniers eliminated a lot of fruit due to mildew; the Ligniers purchased this parcel in 2010): Very ripe but slightly diffuse aromas of black fruits and menthol. Rich and concentrated, showing a creamy texture to its flavors of black fruits and violet. Has enough acidity and firm tannins to give shape to the finish. But not quite as pristine as the best 2012s at this address.”
