1999 Domaine Frédéric Magnien Morey-Saint-Denis Clos Baulet 1er Cru

The outstanding, dark ruby-colored 1999 Morey-St.-Denis Clos Baulet has an awesome nose of sweet cherries, candied raspberries, juicy blackberries, and thyme. Medium to full-bodied and intense, it is a dense, plump, ample wine. This concentrated, rich, sexy fruit bomb is crammed with impressive layers of cherries and raspberries whose flavors last throughout its well-focused, plush finish. Drink it over the next 7-8 years.
