Nuits Chenes Carteaux, Domaine Henri Gouges 2013

**Note: from a 1 ha parcel of 55+ year old vines and this has only been bottled since 1997; the soil here is a mix of clay and sand plus small stones**
Strong reduction completely masks the nose at present. Otherwise there is an unusually seductive texture to the round and surprisingly supple flavors that also retain good delineation on the dusty and mouth coating finish. This should reward up to a decade of cellar time yet be approachable after only 5 to 6.
