2005 Daniel Rion Nuits-St-Georges Vielles Vignes:
Bright ruby. If yoy can think of a mix of strawberries and blackberries, that's how this smells now. There is a slight whiff of vanilla as well, but on release, for me at least, this was like sucking on oak. I'm a bit amazed actually, of how well the oak has integrated. Just a whiff of floral notes if you look carefully. Fresh acidity, tannins ripe, elegant body and fruit, not too intense first, more intensity in the aftertaste, long and dark for pinot. Anyway, lovely. 90
