Reviews & Scores
Still deep ruby. A ripe, fresh and superbly complex and deeply pitched nose reflects earth and spice suffused dark berry fruit and floral aromas. The rich, concentrated and sappy middle weight flavors are blessed with plenty of old vine intensity as well as palate saturating extract, all wrapped in a refined and strikingly long finale. This is an excellent wine that is close to an inflection point where it could be enjoyed now or held for a few more years first. In a word, superb. - BH

The 2005 Cailles is very good, as it offers up a deep and complex nose of black cherries, plums, a bit of game, a strong base of soil, chocolate and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, deep and quite backward, with substantial, but thoroughly ripe tannins, reasonable acidity, and excellent length and grip on the palate-staining finish. As is proper for this serious premier cru, the ’05 Cailles is rather bound up in its structure today, but will be a dynamite bottle of Nuits once it has had sufficient bottle age. - JG

As if there were not enough stony minerality in the Pruliers, the 2005 Nuits-St.-Georges Les Cailles lives up to its name, tasting as though its fruit had been macerated on cherry pits and pebbles. Its bitter-sweetness extends to notes of vanilla and chocolate that accent a deep black fruit concentration. Vivid, palpable density and old vines creaminess on the palate lead to a richly fruited but not at all superficially sweet, deeply meaty, and decidedly chalk- and stone-inflected finish of amazing refinement and penetration, indeed of Grand Cru length. - WA
