Nuits st Georges 1er cru Les Vaucrains 2002 - Henri Gouges
(94-96)/100 Parker
"A true monument among Nuits wines, the 2002 Nuits-Saint-Georges 'Les Vaucrains' explodes with aromas of crème de cassis and black cherry. Notes of violet, earth, tar, ink, and licorice, along with a vast array of candied black fruits, coat the palate. Its striking concentration and depth combine with great nobility, perfect balance, and exceptional length. The tannins of this monumental wine are so soft and supple that they are barely perceptible in its extraordinary finish. Estimated maturity: 2008–2022." Review by:
