Thibault Liger-Belair Nuits-Saint-Georges Les Saint Georges 2016 skus_30188029 either with a thick cream8 barrels here from 2 HA, Frost hit this quite hard. 10 barrels per hectare is normal. Thibault likes the reduction caused by malolactic fermentation. Adds an inky character, more subtle than reduction in the initial fermentation. Very sexy. Fine grippy tannins are firm but sleek, and sit well with the well poised dark berry fruit. Clean, firm but sweetly ripe in the middle. Dense and intense, but good, needs time.
