  1/12 Following on from the Morey en Rue de Vergy at the start of the month, this is deeper, darker and denser. Lovely full deep ruby. Dark red fruit, a touch of black. Finely velvety with good weight.Density to the fruit, this is more serious and brooding, less immediate elegance and elan than the the eRdV. Certainly in the early stages of approachability, but I’ll be making inroads into the village wine while this one slumbers. ***(*)

  In amongst the 08s, we had this lone bottle of the 12, which was a wee bit fresher and had a bit more definition. Fine stuff.

  This is a wonderful MSD from a great producer. Classic mixed red and black fruits, spice and cinnamon. Medium length. Good acidity. Driving well but will last a bit.

  Last of 3 750s. In a good place...solid fruit & secondary characteristics. Dense black fruit, very well balanced. Smooth sweet tannins, fully integrated & mature. Life left so glad I have a mag remaining. MSD is not Gevrey, but it is an elegant lady, one I’m happy to be with any day of the week.
