2012 Domaine Lecheneaut Les Pruliers, Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru, France 750ml

Strong reduction dominates the nose. There is impressive volume to the solidly well-concentrated, vibrant and delineated broad-shouldered flavors that also possess a seductive texture before terminating in a powerful, palate coating and very serious finish. This is very Nuits but it's not quite so austere and backwards as to be particularly tough or rustic. This has excellent development potential for those who have the patience to wait.
