2022 Morey-St Denis, Les Ruchots, 1er Cru, Domaine Amiot & Fils, Burgundy

Once again, there is enough wood to point out but not so much as to impair the expressiveness of the very ripe yet still reasonably fresh liqueur-like aromas of poached plum, cassis and a vaguely exotic tea nuance. The sleeker and finer, if less powerful, middle weight flavours possess a caressing, even sappy, mouthfeel while displaying fine length on the ever-so-slightly warm and dusty finale that isn't quite as well-balanced.
