de Montille, Nuits Saint Georges Saint Juliens Vintage:2021 star anise(67% whole clusters). This is relatively elegant for a Nuits villages with its densely fruited nose of various red berries plus an abundance of floral and freshly turned earth scents. The succulent, rich and generously proportioned flavors possess a seductive mouth feel that continues onto the lingering finish that displays only a soupon of rusticity. This excellent effort is worth checking out. (89 91) 2022+
