1986 Nuits St Georges Les St Georges

Les Saint-Georges has a good nose, deep color (only a medium-light ruby), and lots of fruit, but I would want to drink it by 1990. While I abhor giving this sort of review, there have been too many excuses and too much false praise for the "progress" this domaine is making. By any standard of measurement, these are mediocre wines selling at outrageously high prices. After performances such as these for 20 years (and this vintage is better than many from Henri Gouges), I think it's time someone finally cried foul.
