Tasting notes
Sweet cherries and candied raspberries can be found in the aromatics of the ruby-colored 1999 Morey-St.-Denis La Riotte. This wine has outstanding purity of fruit to its candied raspberry, cherry, toasted oak, and juicy blueberry flavors. It is lively, immensely flavorful, and possesses an admirably long, well-delineated finish. Drink it over the next 8-9 years. Importer: Neal Rosenthal Wine Merchant, New York, NY; tel.

Good deep red-ruby. Aromas of kirsch, mace and smoke. Penetrating flavor of slightly medicinal sappy berries. A more powerful wine than the Chaffots, but here the tannins are also riper.
