Score 90/100 · Drink 2002-2007, Pierre Rovani, Aug 1998

This medium-to-dark ruby-colored wine has a feminine, floral, and blackberry-infused nose as well as a medium-to-full-bodied, structured, foursquare, and refined character. It is powerful and velvety-textured yet highly-detailed. Deeply sweet black fruits and minerals are found in its precise and persistent flavor profile. Drink it between 2002-2007. Importers: Martine's Wines, Inc., San Rafael, CA; tel (415) 485-1800, and Paterno Imports, Chicago, IL; tel (847) 604-8900.

Excellent ruby-red color. Slightly reduced, less exuberant aromas of black fruits, minerals and licorice. Higher-pitched and more tightly wrapped on the palate; has power but doesn't currently display the vintage sweetness of fruit. The harder side of Nuits-Saint-Georges.
