The 2010 Morey St. Denis Les Millandes is rich and explosive. Broad yet firm tannins support an expressive core of blue and black fruit. This is a decidedly expansive powerful wine but there is more than enough minerality to provide balance to the fruit. Layers of fruit saturate the palate on the finish. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2025. 91-93+

A ripe and exceptionally pure nose features primarily cassis aromas though there is the background presence of subtle sauvage hints. The rich intense and extract-rich medium-bodied flavors exhibit plenty of minerality that continues onto the intense mouth coating and moderately austere finish. This is at present quite linear but the supporting structure is ripe and this should be quite good if given sufficient cellar time.
