The dark ruby-colored, medium to full-bodied 1999 Nuits-St.-Georges Aux Vignerondes reveals blackberry aromas. It possesses outstanding depth of fruit, yet is so structured and tannic that I am not convinced the fruit will ever overtake the tannin. Oak, licorice, and blackberries can be discerned in this masculine, muscular wine's powerful character. If its fruit outlasts its tannin, it will certainly be an outstanding wine. If not my rating will appear exceptionally generous.
