liner and youthfully austere finale

A vivacious crowd-pleaser

round and seductively textured flavors that possess good punch and persistence along with fine depth on the mouth coating and very well-balanced finale

Gerard Raphet, Morey Saint Denis Rouge other_regions_italy which is not a pictureThe cool and airy nose is earthier still with its array of red and blue pinot fruit where a touch of crushed fennel lurks in the background. There is fine volume to the appealingly textured middleweight flavors thanks mainly to the relatively fine grained tannins that also shape the moderately firm and more complex finale that is just a bit firmer. This is a good Morey villages that should repay 5 to 8 years of keeping.
