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}
