Aromatically, the medium-to-dark ruby-colored 1997 Nuits-St.-Georges Clos des Porets St. Georges offers garrigue (the sun-baked herbs of Provence) aromas intermingled with spices and blackberries. Medium-to-full-bodied and satin-textured, it offers concentrated layers of cassis liqueur, cedar, coffee, road tar, as well as blackberries. This flavorful, spicy, complex, and ample wine should be consumed over the next 7 years. Importer: Vineyard Brands, Birmingham, AL; tel (205) 980-8802.
