Tasting notes
Bright, moderately saturated medium red. Very ripe, complex nose combines raspberry, mocha and mineral notes with suggestions of exotic fruits. Plush and seamless in the mouth, conveying a restrained sweetness and considerable early charm. Finishes classically dry, with inviting soil tones and ripe tannins.

Cask sample. Candied red fruit nose, simple palate with a light vanilla spice to finish. Easy-going, drinkable – but perhaps a little straightforward at the price. (RH)
The 2015 Morey-Saint-Denis En La Rue de Vergy has a lifted blackberry and raspberry-scented bouquet, touches of black pepper and damp undergrowth emerging with time in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin. It feels foursquare at first, rather backward and serious, although it opens towards the finish with a tang of orange rind on the lightly peppered finish. Give this 3-4 years in bottle if you can, because there is fine substance in this En La Rue de Vergy.
(this fruit was picked on September 17th): Good dark red. Very ripe, dark aromas of black raspberry and chocolate. At once thick and a bit medicinal, with blueberry and black cherry flavors lifted by a suggestion of calcaire minerality. But I find this wine a touch disjointed--even sour--in the early going, and a bit aggressive on the finish.
