Henri Gouges, Nuits St Georges Les Pruliers 1er Cru 2014 Caino is not only a real

is not only a real treat

Fine and gentle but with real verve to it

this lively red wine is based mainly on grapes found on Corsica - Sangiovese

the use of wood only plays a subtle role - pure Pinot Noir fruit is in the foreground

and the wine's edgy acidity and slightly dry-edged tannins will need a couple years of bottle aging to harmonize

Henri Gouges, Nuits St Georges Les Pruliers 1er Cru 2014 Caino is not only a realThe deepest crimson of these samples, yet still very light crimson. Meaty, more concentrated nose than the other Gouges 2014s tasted in early 2016. Some real concentration of fruit and discernible spice, bitter cherries and relatively firm tannin. Relatively backward with sandy tannins and real persistence. But still the unforced, delicate new Gouges style. Jancis Robinson, jancisrobinson. com (17)
