Tasting note: The Chevillons’ 2005 Nuits-St.-Georges Les Pruliers offers high-toned aromas of resin and sage, candied black cherry, and road tar. A sappy intensity on the palate incorporates some of the same resinous, fusil notes along with multi-boned meat stock and rich, positively viscous suggestions of black cherry concentrate. This has more obvious structure than its predecessors, yet also more fat and glycerin. Sleek and refined yet also gripping and mineral-inflected in its long finish, this will keep nicely for well more than a decade and should be left alone for at least 5-7 years. (92-93pts. DS, Wine Advocate)

Tasting note: Good bright, deep red. Musky red fruits, leather and spices on the nose. Juicy and youthfully imploded, but already showing excellent precision and verve to its fruit flavors. An impression of strong but ripe acidity makes this quite serious and backward for a 2007. Finishes long and perfumed. (89-92pts. Stephen Tanzer)

Tasting note: This is very ripe, indeed the ripest wine to this point with a gorgeous and spicy mélange of black and blue berry fruit aromas liberally laced with earth and underbrush that introduces rich, full-bodied and intense flavors of obvious sweetness and a powerful, textured and mouth coating finish. There are buckets of dry extract here that convey a seductive velvety quality to the backend. Impressive. (91-93pts. Burghound)
