The plummy black cherry and licorice-scented 2003 Nuits-St.-Georges Les Vaucrains is chewy textured, medium to full-bodied, and lush. Armed with superb density of fruit, it reveals a thick mass of blackness. This powerful effort is sweet, loaded with flawlessly ripened tannin, and exceptionally long in the finish. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2020+.
