Emmanuel Rouget Nuits-Saint-Georges 2011

New oak dominates with vanilla and char overshadowing the red fruit core. Despite the wood interference, there's genuine elegance underneath. Silky texture and mineral backbone suggest real quality. The finish turns austere and spicy, but time should bring harmony to this promising Nuits-Saint-Georges.
