Aromatically spicy and peppery, the medium-bodied 2001 Nuits-St.-Georges Les Vaucrains will particularly appeal to those readers who enjoy strict, structured Burgundies. While it has no angular edges, this is a firm wine with powerful mocha-laced black fruit flavors. Revealing outstanding concentration and depth, it screams “Nuits” through its foursquare personality. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2010.
