2013 Morey St Denis Vieilles Vignes

Ignore the 2013 Morey St Denis Vieilles Vignes at your peril!. Sourced from the usual premier crus, it was the last to finish its malo, according to Laurent Lignier. It has an intense red cherry and rose-petal bouquet that gains intensity as it shrugs off the reduction. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp tannins and find acidity, a touch of white pepper sprinkled over the tip of the tongue on the finish. This is outstanding.
