Marchand & Tawse, Morey Saint Denis Clos Ormes other_regions_italy again somewhat surprisingly(25% whole cluster). This too is firmly reduced and unreadable at present. The much more refined flavors are racy and lacy and while not especially dense, they do offer good backend punch on the lingering if somewhat lean finish. This appears to have the stuffing to allow the flavors and finish to flesh out as the wine ages though I doubt that it will ever be seductive. (87 90) 2027+
