2012 Chevillon Nuits St Georges Pruliers

Here as well the nose is too reduced to properly evaluate. Somewhat surprisingly given the usually robust flavor profile of a classic Pruliers this displays the most refined mouth feel to this point mostly thanks to the very fine grain of the shaping tannins. There is good volume to the supple medium weight flavors that culminate in a firm, austere and beautifully well-balanced finish. Burghound 90-92

Good bright, dark red. Discreet, pure, rather reticent nose offers red cherry and raspberry. Juicy, minerally and a bit youthfully imploded, offering terrific density and lift to the flavors of raspberry, strawberry and minerals. Lifted by a distinctly floral character I did not find in the last couple of samples. Solid and densely packed but juicy and light on its feet, finishing with serious but fine tannins and a saline touch. A superb showing today. Tanzer 91-94
