Domaine Henri Gouges, Nuits-Saint-Georges Les Vaucrains 1er Cru 1988

Ruby. Resolved and fragrant on the nose, a pinot perfume of blackberry and morello, christmas spice, forest floor, game notes. On the palate this is still quite structured, the robustness of the fruit has lived long enough to match up to those tannins. Long finish is sustained by the dark fruit, but also fragrant and somewhat elegant. Better than the LSG. Last bottle on the case. Now – 2030+.
