Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 2021 “N” (Sans Soufre) is identical to the standard Morgon except it’s bottled without the addition of, you guessed it, sulfur. It pours a slightly dull ruby color with a translucent core; medium viscosity with light staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with gorgeous notes of fresh and funky dark cherry, strawberry, raspberry, licorice, red flowers, some horse blanket, green herbs and minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium with lovely minerality. In a year that is often maligned (not by me), this was absolutely gorgeous. You just kept wanting to go back to the glass and smell it. Drink now through 2036, probably. — 9 days ago

Great representation of FLX Cab Franc, some dried florals, spice and a little fruit. Paired with spaghetti bolognese and Caesar salad. — 9 months ago

No 25. Solid, but secretly hoped for more given the reviews and the '08 base — 9 days ago

Perfect at #Nepenthe in Big Sur with lunch. They pour by the glass there. Really nice wine list.

Previous notes still hold. — 3 months ago

I love Dakota Shy wines, and this is an excellent one. Decanted for several hours. Inky dark purple. Full-bodied, rich, and complex. Dark chocolate, plums, cassis, and a hint of vanilla. Long finish. Fabulous now, but still has a lot of cellaring potential. — 10 months ago

Drank after the 2005 No. 2. Some similarities but the No 1 shows beautiful tannins from the Cabernet. — 2 months ago
