On the nose, the Morey-Saint-Denis Premier Cru "Les Sorbets" is redolent of wild sour cherry with notes of leather and a hint of oak. It acquires more complex aromas with animal and spicy nuances when allowed to age. Well balanced on the palate and endowed with superb structure boasting flavours of red berries and liquorice. The finish is generous and deliciously fruity.
