"Black fruit, new leather, smoke and scorched earth burst from the glass in Cathiard's 2012 Nuits St. Georges. A deep, muscular wine, the 2012 impresses for its focus and compelling overall balance. I very much like the sense of energy, but imagine the 2012 will benefit from at least a few years in bottle. This is classic Nuits in its structure and energy. Drink 2018-2032."  Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com, Jan 2014
