Arlaud, Morey Saint Denis Cheseaux Size:6x750ml cool and strikingly elegant nose(from 30+ year old vines). Firm reduction once again flattens the underlying fruit. The delicious, vibrant and beautifully well delineated flavors possess a plush mid palate texture that also contrasts with the compact, raspy and moderately short finish. This too is a bit of a question mark as to how it will react to the bottling so please note that my estimated range offers the benefit of the doubt.
