2014 Heresztyn-Mazzini Morey Saint Denis Les Millandes 1er Cru, Cote de Nuits, Burgundy

89-91 pts - The Wine Advocate (Neal Martin)

The 2014 Morey Saint Denis 1er Cru les Millandes was picked a little earlier just to keep the acidity from the berries that were affected by millerandage. It has a well defined bouquet with light gravel scents infusing the blackberry and briary fruit. This is very correct but also very composed. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly earthy red berry fruit. There is still some oak to be subsumed, but I think it was a right decision to pick early as the acidity maintains sufficient tension on the slightly foursquare finish.
