Score 92/100 · Drink 2018-2040, Neal Martin, Oct 2018

The 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.

Bright ruby-red. Expressive, redder aromas of redcurrant and Cuban tobacco. Very suave and very deep; bright acids give the red berry flavors terrific clarity. Wonderful intensity without excess weight. Fresh and very long; tannins are firm but not dry. The Vaucrains offers more ampleur but this is more elegant.
