The 2005 Nuits-St.-Georges offers a Les St.-Geroges-like aroma of wood smoke, black fruits and wet stones, presumably befitting its chalky, rocky, exposed vineyard source. The finely-grained yet palpably extract-rich palate is amazingly sappy and the finishing flavors of baked black cherry, cassis, stone, bitter-sweet walnut liqueur, dark chocolate, and roasted meat really cling.
