Domaine Henri Gouges - Nuits-St.-Georges 1er Cru 'Les Saint Georges' - 2020

Outstanding. Ripe but cool aromas of black cherry, dark currant, game and whiffs of warm earth complement the concentrated, powerful and equally serious and muscular larger-scaled flavors that flash fine length on the decidedly firm and balanced finale. This too is very promising though at least some patience is absolutely necessity.  91-93 Points Allen Meadows, Burghound Cropped at just 14hl/ha, the 2020 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Saint-Georges 1er Cru easilyhas the best bouquet from Gouges’s reds with a mixture of red and black fruit, sous-bois,pressed roses and just a smudge of liquorice. The palate is medium-bodied with saturatedtannins, a fine-boned structure with plenty of freshness and focus on the finish.There is alot of substance here and as such, this will require 4-6 years to reach its drinking window.  93-95 Points Neal Martin, Vinous.com
