DOA. Color is good, nose is okay, but the palate is dominated by oxidized notes. Bummer, as some of these T. Morey wines from around that time have aged well. Bought a bunch of these very cheap back in the day and wanted to see how they held up over time. Now I know that while the better sites (Beaune Greves) have aged well, this one did not.

Domaine Thomas Morey Santenay Vieilles vignes 2007 375 mL Prestige Patrimoine #1
Pas de note détaillée. P&P Robe sans signe de vieillissement. Nez sur fruit rouge, cerise, assez frais. Bouche avec belle balance acidité et fruit, mais manque de complexité...
Pas top... À 19$/375mL, ça fait pas trop de dommage, heureusement. Je ne sais pas si c'est représentatif de l'appellation.

From half bottle. The oak is now fully integrated and this has become quite a nice bottle of Pinot in a more masculine, austere style. Not sure how this will develop, but the last couple of bottles have been pleasant surprises.

PnP from a 375, this was quite pleasant! Forthcoming nose with lots of dark notes, fruit-forward (-ish) on the palate, and a lengthy finish. Open for bidnezz.

Much to my pleasant surprise, the oak has integrated more now and isn't bothering me as much as last time. Black cherry fruit on the palate and some marks from the oak. Better than last bottle. Leave for now. From half bottle.

From 375ml. Seems a bit odd to apply a heavy oak regime on a village wine but here you go. Quite a bit of oak and chocolate notes on the nose gives way to a palate of fairly ripe red fruit that leans towards cherry. Settles in with air to show more cool fruit flavors and tannins that are quite marked. This is in need of time to soften up. I'm not so impressed today but perhaps in a few years? UPDATE: even more oak and chocolate milk on day two. A disaster. Done with Thomas Morey. I'm surprised that Vineyard Brands brings this kind of crap to the US.

Something just wrong with this bottle. Funky, off, rank.
