Tasting notes
Tasted blind at Flint Wines’ 2007/2012 Nuits Saint-Georges tasting in London. The 2012 Nuits Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Pruliers from Taupenot-Merme has a candied, raspberry pastille and wild strawberry-scented bouquet with moderate delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with supple red berry fruit, the oak a little dominant towards the finish, although it just about maintains balance. I would just seek more terroir expression here. It just seems as though it lacks a little ambition and I speculate whether it is amidst a broody "teenage" phase. Tasted November 2016.

Tasted blind. Mid ruby. Very light nose. Good volume in the mouth even if it has yet to evolve. This is really quite backward but may well become a swan rather than an ugly duckling. (JR)
Rich and round and with quite a presence. Appealing red cherry flavours with tang and just a little bit of bitterness. Still a little dry on the end. (JR)
