Alain Hudelot Noellat, Nuits Saint Georges Bas Combe Vintage:2022 long and equally compact finishA discreet touch of wood sets off the agreeably fresh nose that combines spice and earth wisps with those of red and dark currant.

The moderately structured effort should reward up to a decade of keeping. (88 91) 2025+
