Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2014 tasting, the 2014 Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru Clos des Porrets-Saint-Georges from Henri Gouges has a pretty and winsome bouquet with pure red cherry and wild strawberry fruit, elegant and stylish, the oak neatly integrated but giving the aromatics lift. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red berry fruit, a fine line of acidity, very cohesive, but then…ugh…it just cuts away so swiftly that you are left feeling severely shortchanged by the absence of aftertaste. Maybe that will develop with bottle age? This was heading toward a much higher score until that. Tasted September 2017.
