  Nice! Red berries, sweet spices and some tangy citrus notes. No hollow point on this, it follows through from front to finish with plenty of fruit, acidity and fine tannins. Long finish. Lovely.

  This had a near perfect balance of what I prefer in red burgundy, with elevated acidic freshness and focused fruit that isn’t too sweet. It shows dark fruit, with lots of flavors merging together, not obviously any single one but a pleasing melt of dark berries, fig, earth, and savory spices. Fine tannins, medium finish with good spice and detail resonating. Has the fruit concentration and charm to drink well on its own. In fact I kept going back to this, wishing it were a mag.
  
  This has really come together and integrated since release. Had meant to let my 14’s sleep but I’ve seen some positive reviews from 13’ Arlaud as well recently and happy to have a decent cache.

  Jasper on Terroir : Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru (67 Pall Mall TV): Very old vines. Below Clos de Tart at the southern end of the village, well protected from the wind as though it were itself a clos. A very proper expression of Morey, though it is unique in having a high iron content in its soil.
  
  A really airy, elegant nose, with some red fruit and a mealy quality. Somewhat ungenerous on the palate (perhaps suffering vs the 15s and 17s just enjoyed). Probably needs food.
