Domaine De L'Arlot Nuit St George 'Le Petits Plets' 2004

Nuits St George, Burgundy, France. 13%. Cork. Half bottle. Approx $A40.

Quite similar to the last De L'Arlot I had, though with perhaps a little more softness and flesh.

Lovely initial burst of rose petal, perfume and sap, before settling into a more earthy and understated repose. Like its sibling, there is a note of ginseng, though as mentioned I thought this was more rounded and plump. The softness is evanescent and soon replaced by something more meaty and firm.

Very good.
