Morris Bin No. 158 Durif 2008
Typically deep, layered and powerful, with a meaty, musky and chocolatey bouquet of dark plums and blackberries, currants and raisins backed by leathery complexity. Underpinned by firm, fine and drying tannins, its assertive core of briary dark fruit extends long down the palate, finishing with lingering blueberry flavours and a pronounced meatiness. For the long term, but not too heavy-handed to open sooner.

Winery
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).
