The 2010 Morey St. Denis Vieilles Vignes comes across as floral and ethereal in large part owing to the use of 50% whole clusters. Sweet spices and rose petals add complexity on the layered finish. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2025. --- Antonio Galloni

This is quite ripe yet remains quite fresh and even has pretentions to a certain elegance due to the really lovely violet spice and plum aromas. The relatively round and supple medium-bodied flavors offer fine complexity before terminating in a mouth coating cool dusty firm and relatively linear finish. I very much like the balance of structural elements against the weight of the mid-palate and this should make for an excellent villages. - Comments: Outstanding ♥
