The medium ruby-colored Nuits-St.-Georges Les Argillieres possessed a muted, unyielding nose the day of my tasting but, on its medium-to-full-bodied and velvety palate, it revealed beautifully ripe, sweet cherries intermingled with crisp currants and an elegant yet tannic and oaky finish. Its copious quantities of lush fruit will outlive the tannins. Projected maturity: 2003-2008. This note is the result of tastings I did in Burgundy between January 7 and January 29. The wine was tasted from cask, not bottle. Pinot Noir, a fragile varietal, reacts poorly to fining, filtration, and careless bottling techniques, I recommend caution when considering buying a red burgundy based on cask samples. I called it as I tasted it, and hope the bottled wine reflects the quality of the samples I was provided.A Patrick Lesec Selection (Paris Fax # 011-33-1-42-84-38-22), various American importers.
