1997 Morey St Denis La Riotte Vieilles Vignes

The medium-to-dark ruby-colored 1997 Morey-St.-Denis La Riotte reveals lovely black fruit and spiced oak aromas. Medium-to-full-bodied, it is soft, lush, concentrated, and loaded with black cherries and mint chocolates (After Eights!). Additionally, this deep, complex, and sultry wine offers a long, pure, supple finish. Drink it over the next 6-7 years. Represented by Russell Herman, Berkeley Heights, NJ; tel (908) 771-9082.
