1990 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru

[mrdutton]

Domaine Michel Chevillon - nice light mouth feel with a 1 lapper finish that is longer on the tannin but also has a fruity barely perceptible sweetnes to it.

Nose tells me there is some earthiness to this 18 year old. However my inexperienced pallet and nose can't quite figure out if it earthy or leathery.

Meniscus is brick and the rest of glass shows something between brick and bright red. Threw a lot of sediment. Decanted by the pushinthecorkcoffeefilter method.

Bottled on the property. Appellation Nuits-St-Georges-1er-Cru. Selected and shipped by Geerlings and Wade, Rotterdam, Netherlands. Imported by G & W imports, New York, New York.

I'll be drinking the second bottle tonight with my wife's beef stew.
