Like its 2018 predecessor, the 2019 Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Clos des Ormes (Maison Louis Jadot) is a touch unfriendly at this early stage. Offering up aromas of cherries, sweet berries, dark chocolate and loamy soil, it's medium to full-bodied, with a rather firm, astringent profile. I hope it will round out with further élevage.
