91+The Morey Premier Cru was ready for its racking and a touch reductive at the time of my visit, but was acquiescent to being coaxed out of its shell with a bit of swirling. The bouquet offers up a mix of sweet dark berries, black cherries, espresso, gamebird, dark soil tones, a touch of cedar and a smoky topnote. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and very long on the backend, with a good core, fine-grained tannins and lovely focus and grip on the long and tangy finish. This seems likely to be a very elegant vintage for this bottling, but it will need some cellaring to start to really drink with generosity.
