Description

1998 Nuits-St Georges, Les Saint Georges, 1er Cru, Domaine Henri GougesThe 1998 Nuits Saint Georges Les Saint Georges 1er Cru has an impressive bouquet, one that is both fresh and focused with redcurrant, juniper, clove and light cigar box notes. The palate is medium bodied with very fine and noble tannin. The texture is quite chalky. There is a surfeit of energy and tension towards the finessed finish. Bon vin! Tasted at the Gouges retrospective at La Cabotte. {***}{region} Nuits St Georges {region} {color}Red{color}

The 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee de Mon Aieul is just now starting to shed a tiny amount of its abundant baby fat that's been front and center since release

2011 impresses for its juxtaposition of the riper elements of the vintage and more classic attributes that are such signatures at this address
