Score 91-94/100 · Drink 1998-2010, Pierre Rovani, Aug 1998
This dark-ruby/black-colored wine has intensely ripe red and black fruit aromas that are followed by a palate-staining, full-bodied, and massively concentrated wine with enormous richness and depth. This powerful, harmonious, and extremely well-balanced and focused Nuits possesses layers of sweet, red and black fruits that dominate its flavor profile and admirably long finish. Its satiny tannins should have melted by 2003. It can be drunk until 2010. This offering is fabulous! Importer: Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant, Berkeley, CA; tel. (510) 524-1524.
