The 2009 Morey St. Denis is a gracious, entry-level wine laced with juicy red cherries, herbs, licorice and tobacco. There is a slight angularity to some of the contours, which is pretty much the only thing that detracts from the wine’s overall sense of harmony and balance. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2019.
I found the 2009s from Clos des Lambrays showed much better from bottle than they did when I tasted them from barrel.
