2006 - Domaine Lignier-Michelot - Morey Saint Denis - Vielles Vignes - Red Burgundy - $50 - (Classic, Ager, Food Wine) - A medium ruby wine with a purple/ruby rim, moderate concentration and viscosity. Upon opening this wine reaked of dark soy-sauce and plum paste, but further decanting for 30 minutes revealed a nuanced wine of classic stock: red and black cherries, soy, blackberry, turned dark Earth and cola/birch aromas. Acidity was nearly high, tannin was moderate+, alcohol moderate and body medium and balanced. Finish was longish but not overtly complex. Best if allowed to rest for 4 to 8 years.
