This wine epitomizes the firmness of Morey along with its often exotic spice and black fruit flavors, a warming wine that just keeps to the right side of too much extraction.

Powerful, this is a fine wine with good, firm tannins that just keep the burgeoning fruit in check. It has great balance, with a touch of wood, plenty of fresh acidity and spice.

A big, rounded wine, which still manages to preserve some of the right Chambolle elegance. There are tannins, but they stay discreetly behind the fresh black fruits and the finishing acidity.

Hugely perfumed, this also boasts a big, chewy tannic structure, as befits a wine that should age. The flavors are of dark fruits with a hint at leather. The acidity at least is fresh, although there is bitterness on the finish.

Earthy and initially animal, this wine lacks freshness. The tannins are important here, while the fruit only appears after the wine has been in the mouth for several moments. Being charitable, this is young; being less so, it is badly old-fashioned.

A big, burly wine, full of perfumed fruits and a dry tannins thread that runs right through. Its fruit is ripe and intensely flavored, with some jammy sweetness. Acidity floats in on the finish.

A very fruity wine, with touches of new wood, this is certainly in a modern style, with spice from the wood and some tastes of extraction. But the juiciness is good and the acidity is fresh, so that the wine ends up pleasantly in balance.
