Thursday, March 17, 2022 - Quite dark color. Cherries mixed with earth overlayed by present but not overwhelming forest floor aromas. - some oak - all lacking a certain finesse and suggesting an imposing if not rustic palate to come. A little more than medium weight on the palate, with good depth of complex fruit on the darker side of the red spectrum. Very Morey in its flavors. The oak noticeable still. Some gentle sousbois. The fruit sweetened up over an hour. Fine grained tannins - not yet completely resolved. Pretty forthright wine. Though not without interest, it fails to deliver all the detail you would hope for given that Ruchots is surely the finest premier cru in Morey. Very good but not better, which it probably should be given the terroir and vintage. Bought on release.
