"(Morlet ferments his pinots in puncheon, then ages them in one-third new, one-third once-used and one-third twice-used barrels; previously he used 50% new oak): Good dark red. Pungent aromas of crushed raspberry, wild herbs and a hint of leather; high-pitched and primary. Then juicy and penetrating, even youthfully tight, in the mouth, with a strong acid spine and firm tannins keeping the dark berry fruit under wraps today. But I still find the essential roundness of 2011 in the background."
