Tasting notes
Tasted straight from the parcel that arrived at St John. Bright crimson, and really quite raw on the nose. But very direct and fresh-fruited. Very much more attractive than the 2013! Correct and expressive. Very lively with excellent persistence. (JR)

Bright red. Restrained nose hints at raspberry. A wine of modest depth, with flavors of raspberry, mint and smoked meat complicated by herbal and saline nuances. Today the tannins come across as a bit dry for the wine's limited mid-palate material.
The 2014 Morey Saint Denis Très Girard, from purchased grapes, has a lifted floral bouquet with red cherry and blueberry fruit, as well as a touch of raisin in the background. The palate is well balanced with tart red cherry fruit, just missing a touch of harmony on the mid-palate with a solid, slightly chewy finish. Give this a couple of years to soften. Rustic but charming.
