DOMAINE NICO

Le Paradis 2017

- 96 points -

A very complex, cerebral pinot noir that has the kind of subtle layering that you find in wines from the Grand Cru sites on the Côte d’Or. The violets, cherries, cassis, blueberries and wild red fruit are all interwoven with a thread of spicy earthy, undergrowth. The palate has fine layered build and such smooth creamy tannins. The finish runs deep, very fluid and long. The tannins are super fine. The energy here is astonishing, as is the concentration. Drink or hold.
