Alain Hudelot Noellat, Nuits Saint Georges Murgers Size:3x750ml starting with the 2014 DoixAn exceptionally ripe nose displays a port like nuance on the spicy and earthy dark raspberry and cassis suffused nose. There is better freshness on the palate along with excellent richness and concentration to the powerful and mouth coating middle weight plus flavors that deliver fine length on the very firm finale. This is impressive in its fashion though its a bit too ripe for me.
