NUITS ST GEORGES, LES PRUILERS 2008
Robert Chevillon
Blackberry and dark cherry; licorice and dark chocolate; and sweet, smoky machine oil inform the nose and stain the palate from Chevillons’ 2008 Nuits-St.-Georges Pruliers, whose deep, bittersweet concentration of flavors; near-velvety texture; metaphorically dark shading; soy-like savor; and palpable sense of extract make for an at once formidable, intriguing, and alluring visage. Yet as its long finish makes clear, the vintage-typical, efficacious primary fresh fruit juiciness is still operative here, and abundant though fine-grained tannins lurk beneath its surface. I would give this several years in cellar before revisiting and expect 12-15 of high-performance from bottle, if not more. 91-92 WA
Estimate $350-$400
