1978 Nuits-Saint-Georges Les Pruliers, Henri Gouges

7 Sep 2012: Ruby core, garnet rim. A very classic nose of raspberry, autumn leaves, Asian spices, savoury, truffle and coffee notes, with great intensity. Delicate frame, silky tannin, vibrant acidity, keeping the palate remarkably fresh, wet stone mineralty on the palate. Lengthy finish. A wine of pedigree, character, refined style and purity. A fantastic effort for a Premier Cru.  Drinking at peak now, and for next 5 - 6 years. 18/20
