Tasting notes
The 1999 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Boudots shows extraordinarily well, unfurling in the glass with dramatic aromas of wild berries, cinnamon, exotic spices, orange rind and smoked duck. Full-bodied, multidimensional and muscular, it's hugely concentrated, its deep core of fruit framed by an abundance of powdery tannin and racy balancing acids. Long and penetrating, this is a memorable bottle.

The dark-colored 1999 Nuits-St.-Georges Aux Boudots reveals refined aromas of roses, violets, blueberries, and blackberries. This is a profound, highly concentrated, intense, elegant wine. Loads of cherries, blackberries, blueberries, and spices can be found in this awesomely fruit-dominated, harmonious offering. It is admirably long in the finish and reveals an outstanding structure. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2015. Aug 2001, www.robertparker.com
