Perfumed Chambolle nose, though darker layrers behind it suggest more, which there is on the palate. Definitely more powerful than I expected, probably due to the vintage. Earthen sweet midpalate with plenty of fruit and still some serious grip to the tannins. Enough of all 3 to strongly suggest another 5-10 years of aging would do it well.

An enjoyable wine, though nohing special. It was a bit fat and sweet when opened, but after a week in the fridge it leaned out a touch. I'm a bit biased as a recent donnhoff 98 kirschheck was phenomenal and this wine is not at that level. It's unclear if there's enough acidity to keep the wine interesting as the sugar runs out -- though that could take another 5-10. Nothing particular offensive or inspiring here, and in general I expect more from Prum.
