2003 Nuits St Georges Les Vaucrains

Displaying a nose of blackberries drenched in chocolate syrup, the 2003 Nuits-St.-Georges Les Vaucrains is a brooding, masculine wine. Loads of black cherries as well as copious quantities of solid yet ripe tannin can be found in its medium-bodied character. Expressive and powerful, it also possesses a long, flavorful finish. Projected maturity: 2008-2015. Aug 2005, www.robertparker.com
