Note di degustazione
Good medium red. Classic Morey-Saint-Denis scents of purple berries, clove, dried flowers and earth; as with the set of '16s, this is totally different from the estate's Gevrey wines. Fresh but youthfully tight, showing limited early sweetness but very good definition and energy to the flavors of blackberry, blueberry, spices and violet. Finishes with subtle saline complexity and a note of licorice pastille, but the wine's dusty tannins are a touch dry today and will need patience.

The 2015 Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Les Millandes was one of the most backward of Serafin's 2015s when I tasted the wine at the domaine. The palate is medium-bodied, structured and masculine with a vice-like grip in the mouth, plus a chalky texture on the finish. It feels brutish at the moment compared to the Gevrey Corbeaux, but bottle age should mellow it out.
Mushroomy nose and very jagged structure. Hard work! (JR)
(these vines average 48 years of age, according to Bachotet): Healthy dark red with ruby tones. Wild aromas of black cherry and blackberry lifted by spicy, minty high notes. Quite primary on the palate, but the slightly minty flavors of medicinal black cherry, spices, dried flowers, licorice and wild herbs are enlivened by nicely integrated acidity. Has the material and sappiness to support its firm tannins. Perhaps the brightest and longest of these 2015s to this point in my tasting. The crop level here was a full 40 hectoliters per hectare in 2015.
