Estimate
The finest, silkiest of tannins frame the fruit through to the supple, inviting finish. Veins of minerality give the Pruliers its focus and balance.
The complex and velvety medium weight flavors possess fine phenolic ripeness though there is so much dry extract that the structural elements are presently relegated to the background... In a word, terrific.
Densely packed & tightly wound; less expressive today than the Roncieres but thick, sappy & pure, with violet and licorice notes perking up the dark fruit flavors. The long but youthfully bound-up finish leaves a note of bitter chocolate.
