Domaine Taupenot-Merme Morey Saint Denis La Riotte 1er Cru 2011

The 2011 Morey St. Denis 1er Cru La Riotte, which comes from a 0.56-hectare parcel, sports a pretty, feminine bouquet with light red cherry, fresh strawberry and dried rose petal. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins and very good focus. No, there is not the length of a more benevolent season, but there is great poise and tension allied with a directness that would make it a superb match at the dinner table. Drink now-2017. Score - 90. (Neal Martin, erobertparker.com, Aug. 2013)
