justerini & brooks tasting note

Dense and muscular. There is a lot of structure here, but the tannins are round. Crunchy red berry and plum with notes of cool earth, dry stone and a rich mocha touch. Les Pruliers, one of the unsung heroes of Nuits St.-Georges situated on the south side of the appellation, yields classic, complete Nuits that combine power, freshness, richness and minerality.

90-92/100Neal Martin,Vinous

The 2018 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Pruliers 1er Cru was showing just a little reduction on the nose when I tasted the barrel sample, making it difficult to read. The palate is grippy and quite touchy at the moment, offering blackberry and blueberry fruit and a little chewiness toward the finish, which is backward and surly. There is good potential here, but this is more enigmatic than other vintages I have tasted in the past at this same juncture.
