The outstanding 1999 Nuits-St.-Georges Les Vaucrains is a medium to dark ruby-colored wine with intense black cherry and blackberry aromas. It is hugely dense, expansive, and medium to full-bodied. Massive layers of black fruits, cookie dough, and Asian spices can be found in its satin-textured, pure, and delineated personality, as well as throughout its impressively long finish. Projected maturity: 2003-2010.
