Alain Michelot Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru Les Cailles 1994

Alain Michelot Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru Les Cailles 1994: A fairly pale red hue, with a touch of orange-pink at the rim depicting this wines age. An exciting nose, with forward red fruits, charcoal and smoke, toasty vanilla barrel notes, and hints of animal fur. A nicely bodied forepalate, with more fruit and smoke. Evident tannins and nicely balancing acidity. Fairly smooth texture, although the midpalate and finish seem a little harsh, with some increasingly obvious tannins and marked acidity. Good fruit though. This wine still has plenty of potential, and although very slightly rough around the edges, was very enjoyable. Good. (5/8/00)
