2018 Pierre Amiot Morey St Denis

The two main parcels are those of Chenevery and Clos Solon with additions from Très Girard, Porroux, Les Crais and Les Brâs totalling 1.85 hectares. The vine age varies between 25 and 60 years of age. Reserved nose with restrained violets, plum, blackberry and overtly ripe raspberries. The palate implodes with power. The fruit unravels in the mouth. Black cherry, aniseed, kirsch cherry, overtly ripe decaying fruit in the most pleasing form. Lovely savoury cherry length. Jono Hersey, FWC Tasting note: An unusually spicy nose is comprised by notes of both red and dark berry fruit cut with evident earth influence along with not so subtle wood. There is both good energy and freshness to the delicious middle weight flavors that possess an almost sweet mid-palate that contrasts with the mildly warm but not really rustic finish that is dry in the best sense. 88 Points. Allen Meadows, Burghound
