Nuits St Georges Pruliers 1er Cru 2015

(from 80-year-old vines): Bright, deep red. Cool aromas of black cherry, violet and cocoa powder. Densely packed and juicy, with sweet berry fruit showing a sexy high-toned quality and terrific energy. Real finesse of texture here owing to the millerandé grapes. Solid underlying minerality contributes to the wine's taut, sharply delineated personality. Finishes very dry but ripe, with substantial suave tannins and an element of saline minerality.

Score: 92 - 94
