"The 2009 Morey St. Denis is soft and spiced at the outset, then turns quite a bit more pointed on the mid-palate and finish. This attractive, mid-weight wine comes across as quite open and ready to go. Layers of expressive red fruit frame the finish. Half of the wine was aged in new 500-liter barrels, the rest was aged in used oak. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2019."
