even tannins that come on late

It’s an excellent wine in a year that keeps on delivering right through the palate and hangs on for more

The 2012 Pavillon Rouge is soft

intense and mineral-inflected broad-shouldered flavors are an exercise in restraint

concentrated yet impressively refined wine with plenty of inner mouth perfume as well as an abundance of palate coating old vine sap that serves to cushion the still quite firm tannic spine on the strikingly persistent finish

Jean Grivot, Nuits Saint Georges Pruliers other_regions even tannins that come onThere is lovely complexity to the subtly spiced and distinctly earthy red currant and plum suffused nose. There is plenty of verve and mid palate concentration to the intense and seductively textured flavors that offer both good size and weight, all wrapped in a firm, balanced and persistent finish. This displays enough Nuits character to remain true to the terroir yet there is virtually no rusticity. (90 92) 2019+
