Domaine Jean Grivot - Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru 'Boudots' - 2017

Mild reduction pushes the fruit to the background but I doubt that it will last. Otherwise there is excellent volume, weight and intensity to the muscular and powerful big-bodied but seductively textured flavors that culminate in a youthfully austere and gorgeously long if quite firmly structured finale. This is a very dense wine in the context of the vintage and one that is going to require at least some forbearance. 91-94 Points, Sweet Spot, Outstanding. Allen Meadows, Burghound
