1999 Nuits St Georges Vieilles Vignes

The healthy, ruby-colored 1999 Nuits-St.-Georges displays ripe berry aromas. It is light to medium-bodied and has excellent depth of fruit. Loads of sweet, silky-textured raspberries, blueberries, cherries, currants, and strawberries can be found throughout its harmonious personality as well as in its long, fresh, and candied finish. It is one of the finest village appellation wines I have tasted from Nuits-St.-Georges. Drink it over the next 5 years. Importer: Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant, Berkeley, CA; tel. (510) 524-1524.
