2018 FAIVELEY NUITS SAINT GEORGES LES PORETS SAINT GEORGES

"Ripe and supple in texture, this wine highlights flavors of plum confit and brandy-soaked black cherries accented by smoke, char and violet petals. Vinified from a blend of whole-cluster and destemmed grapes and matured 16 months in French oak (40% to 50% new), it's freshly balanced in acidity but pliant and open in tannin structure. Approachable young, it should improve through 2030 and hold further." Wine Enthusiast 95 points Drink 2023-30
