The dark ruby-colored 1999 Nuits-St.-Georges Les Cailles is magnificent. Its licorice, blackberry jelly, and plum aromas lead to a full-bodied personality. This massive, powerful, and penetrating wine has massive quantities of licorice-laced dark fruits that are intermingled with rocks and cassis liqueur. It is hugely dense yet bright. This Darth Vader of a wine also possesses an exceptionally long, pure finish. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2014. Importer: Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant, Berkeley, CA; tel. (510) 524-1524.
