It aged for 20 months in French oak barrels and has a deep garnet-purple color

This is a fascinating wine in that the natural robustness of a fine GE is present but the natural elegance of the vintage tames it somewhat and one could quite accurately describe the '06 GE as robustly elegant yet distinctly understated

Liger Belair Nuits St. Georges Aux Cras 2018 750mL Rhone with laser-like precision"There is an attractive freshness to the ripe aromas of red currant, dark raspberry and earth that exhibit a narrower range of spice elements. I like the lovely vibrancy of the intensely mineral driven flavors that retain excellent delineation on the complex, focused and impressively long finish. This super sleek and beautifully balanced effort should age extremely well." Burghound, BH94, tasted 1 2021
