Domaine Ponsot, Morey Saint Denis Alouettes Vintage:2013 smoke-accented cherry liqueur and blueberry(from Monts Luisants; an alouette is a lark). A slightly riper and more complex nose presents notes of red currant, floral, spice and notably earthy aromas. The energetic, punchy and welldelineated flavors culminate in a lightly mineral inflected, delicious and well balanced finale. This moderately firm effort should be drinkable after only 6 to 8 years if desired. (89 92) 2024+
