1990 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru

[Duane Meissner]

I'm a big fan of Band-Aid, manure, and dirt notes, but this bottle didn't give me any of that. Only thing I can remember about this bottle (besides the surprising price tag) is that it was simple and harsh - One (only one) distinguished palate that night was able to rave about the length of the finish, but nothing else. It was decanted for probably an hour, and sampled over the course of the following 2 hours, so that wasn't the problem. Give me flavor and balance! Again, I'm looking forward to my next, hopefully "enlightening," experience.
