The bright, medium to dark ruby-colored 1999 Morey-St.-Denis 1er Cru Vieilles Vignes reveals loads of jammy red and black fruits in its aromatics. This opulently-textured, medium to full-bodied wine has outstanding breadth to its thick-textured character. Cherries, blackberries, strawberries, raspberries, and hints of licorice can be found in its sweet, pure, and highly extroverted character. Drink it over the next 10 years.
