Morey Saint Denis, Domaine Dujac 2012

The reduction this displayed last year from barrel is still present even if there is less of it. There is good freshness and energy to the supple and well-concentrated medium-bodied flavors that are shaped by relatively fine-grained tannins on the balanced finish where a trace of austerity is present. This possesses outstanding depth and length for its level and while the reduction is a concern my score assumes that it will ultimately dissipate with a few years of bottle age.

Heavy reduction completely dominates the nose at present. By contrast there is good freshness and energy to the supple and well-concentrated medium-bodied flavors that are shaped by relatively fine-grained tannins on the balanced finish where a trace of reduction resurfaces. This is never a good sign and my predicted range offers the benefit of the doubt that a racking will dissipate the reduction.
