Medium/dark ruby-colored, and displaying a nose of berry and mineral scents, and an earthy, minerally and sweet cherry-flavored palate, the Morey-St.-Denis Clos Des Ormes is an appealing wine marred by the presence of dry, dusty tannins. My question mark relates to the high level of dry tannins I detected in this wine. This note is the result of tastings I did in Burgundy between January 7 and January 29. The wine was tasted from cask, not bottle. Pinot Noir, a fragile varietal, reacts poorly to fining, filtration, and careless bottling techniques, I recommend caution when considering buying a red burgundy based on cask samples. I called it as I tasted it, and hope the bottled wine reflects the quality of the samples I was provided. Importer: Louis/Dressner Selections, New York, NY; tel. (212) 319-8768
