  Bon ça m’apprendra à ouvrir les bouteilles à l’arrache ! Hier soir, à peu près inexpressif. Du volume en bouche mais pas beaucoup de plaisir.
  Aujourd’hui, la robe est encore très sombre, à peine tuilée au bord. Le nez est plus engageant, crème de cassis, menthol, mais guère plus. La bouche s’est resserrée, les tanins sont plus présents. Un Bourgogne bâti comme un Bordeaux, avec de la fraîcheur en prime. Plutôt décevant finalement, du moins pour moi. A voir si avec plus de temps, il s’arrangera…

  Lovely pale rose centre with clear rim; nose of summer fruits & herbs. Initially closed but opened out well over lunch. Not a stunner but a decent, well-made wine.

  Decanted 3 hours served at 14C. Brilliant, dark red with garnet reflections and some bricking at rim. Nose was multi-leveled with dark red fruits predominating but could also detect some wet stone notes, tobacco and leather. Entry and attack were silky smooth with a very pleasant build to a full, balanced mouthful of red fruits supported by fine tannins. Finish was long and balanced. Overall this is a refined wine with good balance and I am sure could be drunk many years into the future. While it had a better nose and overall balance than the 1999 Domaine de la Vougeraie Pommard Les Petits Noizons with which we drank it my feeling is the Pommard represents better value and would be a wine I would like to come back to in 5 years. Still, this Morey St. Denis has alot to like about it. 50+5+12+17+9=93.

  Nez sur les fruits rouges, bouche ample, longue, pleine. Tout le bonheur du pinot noir.
  Voilà un superbe second vin, supérieur aux fleurons de nombreux domaines.
