Tasting notes
The 2015 Morey Saint Denis 1er Cru Les Millandes, which Cyprien Arlaud told me was the only cru to be racked, has a delightful raspberry and blueberry-scented bouquet with a hint of iodine. The palate is medium-bodied with sweet ripe tannin, quite forward and dense with good, solid grip in the mouth, then veering towards a rounded and sweet, almost plush finish. I would like just see a little more restraint by the time of bottling and if so, it should turn out very fine.

(13.8% alcohol, the highest of these 2015s; the only one of these wines that had already been racked): Good dark red. Sexy aromas of dark cherry, wild herbs and brown spices, plus hints of cocoa powder and leather. Boasts a glossy texture and impressive thickness but the black cherry and black raspberry flavors are nicely framed by juicy acidity. The rising finish features ripe tannins. This wine took the longest to finish fermenting its sugars in 2015, noted Arlaud.
