Wines from Morey-Saint-Denis should be opulent in 2005, and this wine has opulence in spades. It fills the mouth with rich red plums, red cherries and some cranberry juice to give an edge of dryness. Maybe complexity is edged out by all this juicy fruit, but the tannins do firm up the wine, which should certainly age 10 years or more.——R.V.(8/1/2008)—— 92

A wine from the Grand Cru Clos de la Roche in Morey-Saint-Denis, this is big, rounded, packed with cherry and balancing wood flavors. It has power and generosity. It also packs quite a firm tannin edge, which promises some good aging. ——R.V.(3/1/2007)—— 91
