2004 Domaine Henri Gouges Les Saint-Georges Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru

(90 Points)  -----  (Burghound)

An earthy but finer and more elegant red fruit nose with lovely nuances of dried herbs, game, smoke and a touch of iron leads to textured, intense, mouth coating and finer medium full flavors that possess excellent inner-mouth perfume, wrapped in a dusty, sweet and seriously long if slightly edgy finish. As it always is, this is a wine of evident class with a firm core of tannins yet the entire package is one of grace and harmony. *Outstanding*   Review Date: 01/2007
