The Morgon comes equipped with a bundle of pure red cherry, wild strawberry and raspberry on the nose. This just unfurls beautifully, becoming quite floral with time. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp acidity. You can feel the energy in this Morgon, and though it is not as persistent or as voluminous as the 2015, there is impressive precision here. Give this a year after bottling before reaching for the corkscrew.

Slightly tight and some natural funk. A little brightness. Good for us geeks!

Brilliant ruby-red. Powerful red/blue fruit, violet, black cardamom and smoky herb aromas show excellent clarity and mineral lift. Fleshy and seamless in texture, offering bitter cherry and cassis flavors that tighten up slowly on the back half. Delivers a suave blend of power and energy and finishes with outstanding clarity, spicy thrust and lingering sweet blue fruit character. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, March 2018)

Trained folk can talk about the specifics. This is a tangy, slightly musty Capri Sun for adults. Light, but interesting, and not just quaffable... crushable.

If there was one redeeming thing that took place today (i.e. The day I got selected as a juror) it was that my Burgundy stems arrived. Cheers to immediately putting them to good use and to the commencement of 42 hours of Jury Duty

Delicious gamut from Julian Sunier. Not as good as his “Wild Soul” but still delicious.
