A slightly riper mix of lightly spiced violets, blue fruit and warm earth aromas precedes textured and admirably concentrated medium-bodied flavors that possess a supple mid-palate but a serious, long, firm and mouth coating finish. This too is terrific. Sweet spot Outstanding. Drink 2016+.
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.
Dense, vigorous and intriguing on the nose. Lots tucked in here - including lots of tannin, but I think good ripe savoury fruit too. Very dry on the finish.
