liner and youthfully austere finale

There is excellent volume to the solidly concentrated and intensely mineral-driven flavors that possess evident muscle and power on the firm

which is not a picture of the terroir

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

yellow apple skin and sweet Meyer lemon sway on the nose

Gerard Raphet, Morey Saint Denis Rouge other_regions_italy liner and youthfully austere finaleThe 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.
