The medium to dark ruby-colored 1999 Nuits-St.-Georges Les Porets has immensely appealing, sweet black cherry aromas. Medium-bodied, fresh, and tangy, this is a delicious if foursquare and tightly wound wine. Blackberries and currants can be found in its firm, tannin-filled (yet ripe) character. Projected maturity: 2005-2010. Importer: Kobrand, Inc., New York, NY; tel. (212) 490-9300.
