The 2013 Morey Saint Denis Clos Sorbé 1er Cru, which is raised in 30% new wood, was just a tad muted on the nose: light redcurrant and strawberry scents reluctantly emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with quite firm tannins, the oak is prominent at the moment, although that should be absorbed by the time of bottling. There is decent length here, although there is something conservative enveloping this wine.Drink now-2024.
Neal Martin, The Wine Advocate
pretty, fresh and relatively airy array of both red and dark currant aromas is given more breadth thanks to the presence of anise, sandalwood, earth and a hint of underbrush. The cool, pure and lightly mineral-inflected flavors possess good volume and punch though the moderately austere finish displays a hint of dryness that may very well round out as the supporting tannins appear to be sufficiently ripe to do so. Drink 2021+.
