2014 Morey St Denis La Riotte Vieilles Vignes

Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2014 tasting, Perrot-Minot's 2014 Morey Saint Denis 1er Cru les Riottes offers plenty of ripe strawberry and raspberry preserves aromas despite just a touch of reduction, although this ebbed away with a bit of swirling. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red berry fruit, a fine line of acidity, gently grippy in the mouth with a rather aloof but attractive finish. Give this a couple of years in bottle and a decent decanting to get the most from this Morey-Saint-Denis because there is plenty of potential. Tasted September 2017.
