The 1999 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Boudots shows extraordinarily well, unfurling in the glass with dramatic aromas of wild berries, cinnamon, exotic spices, orange rind and smoked duck. Full-bodied, multidimensional and muscular, it's hugely concentrated, its deep core of fruit framed by an abundance of powdery tannin and racy balancing acids. Long and penetrating, this is a memorable bottle.
