Score 90/100 · Drink 2002-2008, Pierre Rovani, Oct 1999

Medium-to-dark ruby-colored, the 1997 Nuits-St.-Georges Les Lavieres' nose exhibits perfume, blueberries, and blackberries. It is medium-to-full-bodied, meaty, fresh, and chewy. This dense wine's flavor profile offers stones, minerals, and black fruits. Its finish is presently heavily marked by oak yet this should dissipate with cellaring. Projected maturity: 2002-2008. Importers: Martine's Wines, Inc., San Rafael, CA; tel (415) 485-1800, and Paterno Imports, Chicago, IL; tel (847) 604-8900.

Score 88-90/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Mar 1999

Good deep red, not as dark as the above. Expressive aromas of black raspberry, minerals, leather and smoke. Brighter but more closed in the mouth, with a mineral firmness. Finishes with fine tannins and notes of mocha and coffee.
