Morris Bin No. 158 Durif 2009
Sumptuous and meaty, with great length and density of varietal flavour, it reveals a wild, spicy and leathery bouquet whose fiery presence of plums, raisins and blackberries is backed by aromas of roasting pan scrapings. Its ripe and slightly baked palate of blackberries, dark plums, briar and dark chocolates is gripped by a firm and drying extract, finishing with length and strength, plus a spirity warmth. Well balanced, but a fraction overcooked for a higher score.

Morris
Morris' historic trio of Shiraz, Durif and Blue Imperial (which has from time to time been labelled as its pseudonym of Cinsault) are typically rustic, earthy and meaty reds that are steadily acquiring more depth and structure. The deeply flavoured, wild and gamey Durif is a house speciality. Its owner, Pernod Ricard, is reinvesting in its Morris vineyards to develop an iconic series of table and fortified wines. The results have included the first release of the extraordinary CHM Durif from 2007 (95/100, drink 2027-2037).
