There is almost painful intensity to the super-sleek big-bodied flavors that possess a positively gorgeous mouthfeel due to a mid-palate that brims with sappy dry extract that coats the mouth on the hugely long and impeccably well-balanced finale

The finish narrows just a bit and it is this aspect that ultimately prevents this otherwise gorgeous effort from meriting a higher overall score

the Lavières possesses superb energy that drives the red stone fruit

with air it could actually be enjoyed though one thing that is crystal clear is that this is very much on the rise

has a dense black cherry and blackcurrant-scented nose with graphite and forest floor notes

A much more floral-inflected nose is equally fresh and ripe with a broader range of spice elements adding breadth to the pretty red and blue pinot fruit aromas that are trimmed in noticeable if not invasive wood

Distinct soil and mineral inflections give the Nuits-Saint-Georges Aux Lavières much of its distinctive personality

This is definitely a "buy and forget you own it" wine as I would advise not touching a bottle for at least 10 years and 15 to 20 would likely be better

of Gaja's three single-vineyard expressions

but the sweetness and taste of this wine's fruit is akin to a savory blend of a chocolate-covered

airy and expressive nose is composed by notes of red cherry

Hints of dark blue and black fruit
