Tasting notes
Full ruby color. Pure, brooding aromas of blackberry and blueberry. Thick, powerful and impressively concentrated, with very fresh black fruit and spice cake flavors. Finishes with major, building tannins and strong lingering black fruits. Here, too, there's no shortage of acidity or verve.

Dark ruby-colored, the 2003 Nuits-St.-Georges Clos des Porrets St.-Georges explodes from the glass with aromas of licorice, super-ripe blackberries, cassis liqueur, and roasting spices. Packed to the gills with thick fruit (my notes have the word “dense” in all-caps), this road tar and blackberry-flavored effort is medium to full-bodied and backward. Some alcoholic heat and somewhat rough tannin can be detected in its long finish. Projected maturity: 2008-2015+. Importer: Vineyard Brands, Birmingham, AL; tel. (205) 980-8802
Bright ruby-red. Lively, pure aromas of black raspberry, cassis, minerals, coffee, cocoa, smoke, spices and leather; superripe but not porty. Sweet, concentrated and pliant, with strong dark fruit and chocolate flavors and noteworthy density. From less-stressed vines. A rather large-scaled wine with big but ripe tannins.
Cask sample. Monopole. Dark crimson. Very, very lively and tense and dense. Dry tannins on the finish. Lots of extract here. (JR)
