Michael Schuster | Deepish purple (not the color depth of the Aux Cras); here, too, the merest touch of oxidation; full, rich, firmly but very finely tannic, with a fresh to lively acidity; deep, long, sweet, and succulent, with a patent premier cru race, tenacity of flavor, and persistence on the finish. Top premier cru quality here, and a richness, breadth, and depth of flavor of a different order from the village wines. Top-notch Nuits-St-Georges, first-rate medium- to long-term Clos des Grandes Vignes. 2028–42+. | 93–94+
