"Dark cherry jam, peat, and hints of floral perfume scent the Lecheneaut 2008 Nuits-St.-Georges Les Pruliers, whose profusion of sweet fruit confiture, billowing smoke and perfume inform a finely-tannic palate, persisting with impressive grip if little primary juiciness. This was entirely destemmed, incidentally, and it will be interesting in that regard to compare its evolution with that of its siblings. I suspect there will be at least a decade of satisfaction in store for those who cellar some of this Pruliers, but whether it will become more refined, nuanced, or complex I won't venture to predict."

"More new oak of course but threaded through the aromas. Pure red fruit with no herbal accent (no stems in 2008). Red and pink florals and spicy lift. Heading into purple fruit ripeness and intensity. Rich sweet plum and red fruit flavours but with great poise and a fine structure; lots of mineral acidity. Very long flavours to the back of the throat. Grainy tannins will ensure excellent longevity and only just outlive the rich sweet fruit on the finish." Importers Note
