the nose is very nice with pure fruit, nice salinity, but only middle length, a bit of a deception knowing this top ranking 1er cru from Domaine Leflaive.

on the nose some sweet notes, on the palate black fruit, nicely integrated tannins, very good.
Red
1999 Domaine Henri Gouges Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Les Vaucrains
very dense, opaque, difficult to identify even the grape variety and region during this blind tasting. Double closed, needs another 20? years. Not rated.
