2008 Nuits-St Georges, Pruliers, 1er Cru Domaine Jean Grivot

Super-dense in colour with a warm ball of fresh plum fruit on the nose, this has an amazing intensity of fruit on the palate, with a fresh crunchy finish maintaining vitality.

Subtly sweet perfumed red fruit. Delicate but sure. Fine sour cherry on the palate, tight, restrained and harmonious. Tannins are fine, very present but matched by the fruit. Not a show off but long and sleek even in youth.
