Tasting notes
Unlike many of the wines in this range, the 2012 Nuits-Saint-Georges Les Pruliers is quite expressive today. There is more than enough depth in the fruit to match the incisive Pruliers tannin. Crushed flowers, sweet tobacco and licorice add nuance as the wine gradually opens up in the glass. The 2012 Pruliers is both incisive and also silky, showing the contrasts that is one of the things that makes top-flight red Burgundy so compelling. In the 2012 the malos were quite long, so there is good reason to think the 2012 will be slow to fully reveal itself in bottle.

The 2012 Nuits-Saint-Georges Les Pruliers is energetic, vibrant and polished to the core, especially for a wine of this size. Layers of blue and black-toned fruit, licorice, cloves and violets all burst from the glass. The 2012 is going to need quite a bit of time for the elements to come together, but this is another wine with a seemingly bright future. I would not be surprised if the Pruliers is a bit overlooked though, as there is little in the way of immediacy at this stage.
