Domaine Henri Gouges, Nuits-Saint-Georges Les Vaucrains 1er Cru 1996

Ruby. The nose has an imprint of game, a whiff of star anise, and marked by a criss-cross of crushed stone and dry soil statements. The palate is a muscular affair whose dark fruit notes become redder with air. Plenty of tannic exuberance, this is a mass of matter that can evolve further. It is pretty much halfway between youth and maturity. Now – 2035+.
