Firm and tannic, this has structure that’s buttressed by ripe, jammy fruit and intense acidity. Solid and powerful, this is impressive and ageworthy. — (8/1/2012) —90

There is a good amount of the square, chunky Nuits Saint-Georges feel to this wine. Manuel Olivier is based in the town, so should know his stuff, and has blended a solid, firm wine, with a dark edge of tannins, balanced by acid freshness. ——R.V.(5/1/2011)—— 90
