The bright ruby-colored 2000 Nuits-St.-Georges Murgers exhibits a nose of spicy red cherries and hints of cedar. Plush, velvety-textured, and ample, it is a medium-bodied, broad, gorgeously-textured wine. Sweet layers of spicy red fruits are found throughout its extroverted flavor profile and voluptuous finish. It should be consumed over the next 5-6 years. Concerning the 2000s, Meo said, “they were exceedingly ripe, like the 1999s, but without the acidity of that vintage. Rot was present, but not an overwhelming problem if you were willing to do what was necessary. The other interesting point is that the grapes had exceedingly thin skins.” Importer: Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant, Berkeley, CA; tel. (510) 524-1524
