The 2020 Nuits Saint-Georges Roncière 1er Cru has a cohesive nose. It offers black cherries, blueberries and light violet scents, perhaps the best fruit in this flight. There's a little more delineation here. The palate is medium-bodied with finer tannins than its peers. It has black fruit laced with tobacco and white pepper. The finish is grippy and assertive, but it coped with the heat better than its peers. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting. Oct. 2024

Outstanding ♥ Elegant, pure and airy aromas speak of the essence of plum, dark raspberry and subtle spice and earth wisps. The equally elegant and refined medium weight flavors are at once sleek and detailed while displaying a gorgeous mouthfeel on the impressively lengthy finish. Like the Chaumes, this is unusually good. Drink: 2032+ Jan 10 2022

Cask sample. Deep cherry-ruby; beautifully expressive nose of flowers and red-/blackberry fruits; boisterous and a little un-melded in the mouth. (MH)
