2016 Domaine Sylvain Cathiard Nuits Saint Georges Aux Murgers 1er Cru
Other Reviews....
The 2016 Nuits Saint-Georges 1er Cru Aux Murgers has a precise bouquet, tightly wound at the moment with black cherry, boysenberry and cold stone aromas, much more backward than the Aux Thorey. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grain tannin, tightly knit and focused, tensile with a precise, quite pointed, sorbet-fresh finish. There is something clockwork about this Murgers—every component synchronized the other.

There is enough reduction to render the nose difficult to evaluate though it does seem ripe. Otherwise the restrained medium weight flavors possess excellent structural ripeness as well as fine size, weight and power on the intense, harmonious and mouth coating finish. This concentrated effort is a classic Murgers of muscle and power but no rusticity.
