Medium to dark ruby-colored and dark wild berry-scented, the 2003 Nuits-St.-Georges Les Hauts Poirets is an austere, foursquare wine. While it reveals impressive depth to its blackberry and brambleberry-flavored core, this effort also displays a firm, hard tannic structure that is worrisome. Projected maturity: 2009-2015?
