1999 Nuits St Georges, 1er Cru Clos de la Marachele, Domaine Faiveley (12 x Bottle)
Bright, full red-ruby color. Aromas of currant, smoke, earth, nuts, mace, nutmeg, iron and tobacco. Sweet but fresh, with nicely integrated acidity. The dusty tannins mounted with aeration. Faiveley lease on this huge 9.9-hectare parcel will run out next year, and the vines will revert to owner Freddie Mugnier in 2003.

Vinous
Medium red. Aromas of red cherry, red berries, herbs and orange peel. A wine of moderate ripeness and expressiveness. Comes across as a bit dry even if the tannins are fine. Some acidity and heat show on the finish.
