2014 Nuits-St-Georges, Aux Allots, Domaine Leroy

"Translucent red cherry fruit and lifted aromatics make a strong first impression in the 2014 Nuits-Saint-Georges Aux Allots. Beams of supporting tannin and a burst of saline-infused energy give the 2014 its shape. The 2014 is clearly still recovering from its bottling. Still, the wine's focus is admirable. In many ways, the Aux Allots encapsulates the nervous yet precise, sinewy personality of the year. Next to the other village-level wines the Aux Allots is a bit compact."

"A marginally riper and even earthier array of dark currant floral and sauvage hints leads to delicious, intense, velvety and sappy medium weight flavors that are shaped by a moderately firm tannic spine on the slightly more complex finish. This too should amply reward mid-term cellaring and is highly recommended for its level."
