Michel Magnien, Morey Saint Denis Rouge Vintage:2019 by exception in 2021

by exception in 2021

dark Cabernet is almost too much today and will need a good decade more of cellaring to lose some of its baby fat

From a parcel planted in 1964 and vinified entirely in oak

Combe du Dessus and Les Marchais aged in 65% new wood and vinified with 65% of the stems)

A bit uncomfortably sweet and astringent on the end

Michel Magnien, Morey Saint Denis Rouge Vintage:2019 by exception in 2021(from a mix of Les Crais, Les Cognes, Clos Solon, Bas Chenevery and les Herbuottes). Here too there is an herbal tea top note to the cool and earthy dark currant scanted aromas. There is fine volume to the caressing middle weight flavors that possess a slightly more refined mouthfeel that contrasts somewhat with the mildly rustic and austere finale that is delicious if a bit short, at least today.
