Tortochot, Morey Saint Denis Renaissance other_regions_italy intense and more obviously muscled(from Clos Baulet and Clos des Ormes). An exuberantly fresh nose freely offers up its airy aromas of essence of red cherry, violet and a suggestion of exotic tea. The noticeably finer, indeed almost delicate, texture of the middleweight flavors contrasts markedly with the markedly firm and youthfully austere finale that also exudes a subtle minerality. Lovely and understated and a wine that should easily repay a decade plus of keeping.
