The ruby-colored 1997 Nuits-St.-Georges Les Pruliers displays stoney dark fruit aromas. This medium-to-full-bodied, well-concentrated, silky-textured wine is replete with black cherries, tar, licorice, and earth-like flavors. What score it ultimately merits within the provided range will be determined by how well the talented Robert Chevillon copes with its slightly dry finish. Projected maturity: 2000-2005.
