TN: 2009 Domaine Henri Gouges Nuits St. Georges

  • 2009 Domaine Henri Gouges Nuits St. Georges - France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Nuits St. Georges (4/26/2012)
    Popped and poured at Eva. Dark ruby. Nose was pumping from the start, evocative of fresh raspberries, dark plum, schist, forest floor, cinnamon, and earth. Enticing primary fruit on the palate with muscular layers of red plum, red raspberry, brambles, and iron. Brash acidity and powerful but rounded-off, almost fuzzy tannins. Long finish with waves of tart, young, red fruit vying with minerals and grip. So much verve and character. Delightful at this infant stage. From a 375. (90 pts.)
