Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru, Aux Boudots--Vintage 1996
Côte de Nuits. Domaine-bottled: Leroy
Tasting note: This light-colored wine is among the finest Nuits to have graced my palate. An amazingly elegant, floral, and blueberry, cherry, stone, chocolate, as well as rose-filled nose warns the palate of the impending pleasures to follow. This full-bodied, velvety-textured, and sublimely proportioned wine offers layer upon layer of candied blackberries, cherries, assorted dried fruits, as well as a seductively supple and lively personality. Even though it comes across as luscious and forward, it has a firm structure that is difficult to perceive through the loads of super-ripe fruit. It should be at its peak between 2004 and 2012. 96 points. Pierre Rovani, Wine Advocate #118, August 1998
