Fresh and meaty. Intense savory bright fruit. Floral notes and sappy gnarly fruit. Some inky tangy notes. From mag- still very vigorous. Very good.

Healthy dark red. Very sexy scents of plum, spices and cedar. Rich and silky but not a bit exotic--or even advanced, for that matter--with its seamless flavors of raspberry, spices and soil energized by salty minerality. Boasts terrific inner-mouth energy and tension, no doubt partly due to the stem element. Finishes saline and very long, with edge-free tannins and uncanny lift. At once seductively sweet and youthful, this wine should continue to evolve gracefully for another two decades. (Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, March 2018)

Needs a lot of time, and elevage stamp is very pronounced.

This is going to be a beauty. Young but already enjoyable. Ripe. Savory. Long.

Always been partial to Morey St. Denis and the velvety finesse of these ethereal Pinots--surprisingly still quite firm from a 375ml, but '99s seem almost timeless and will continue to age for decades!
