Tasting notes
Cathiard’s 2005 Nuits-St.-Georges Les Murgers offers beautifully-focused aromas and flavors of cassis, black raspberry, and meat stock. Quite creamy in texture, with chalky, smoky, brown spice, and floral inner-mouth character, this acts like a Nuits that could be Vosne. The combination of clarity with creaminess in the finish is uncanny. Also recommended: 2005 Bourgogne ($39.00;85).

Good red-ruby. Enticing, dark aromas of cassis, blackberry, violet and bitter chocolate. Sweet and juicy in the mouth, with sappy flavors of raspberry and flowers. Perhaps strongest today on the firmly tannic, persistent finish, which offers lovely lingering sweetness.
