Dec 8th, 2022Berry jam, spice and rose petals on the nose, bit of something animal. On the palate the bright carbonic fruit still popping, with a beautiful floral and bitter stem finish that would accompany a lot of different food pairing options

Intense, crushed berry, meaty, grapey nose.
Not quite clean but not off putting. Palate is intense, almost fatiguing at this point, with red fruit, meat, and a dank, cave like quality, with a thick, soupy texture. Bracing acids give structure to the finish. This is quite different and complex, but not clean. Other loved it, I had trouble with the second glass. This is a hold, for softening and unraveling.

Fruit is very ripe and grapey with a faint perception of sweetness, some anise and spices and bubble gum.
Ripeness and carbonic quality more than terroir at this point. Plus a long meaty amino finish- some funky microbial thing going on.
Day three and this is all broth. Not super appealing. Not at the top of my list for this price point.

Youthful. Maybe reductive/closed at first?

More Jura like but mid-weight and somewhat rustic. Dried candied strawberry, pine fur and eucalyptus.

Fun to have a Beaujolais with age...almost takes on some old Pinot noir or Arbois qualities...notes of dried strawberries, forest floor and a touch of umami

Belated B Day dinner at the Four Horsemen part 1: 20 yro Morgon so expressive & probably can't go much further-dirty black cherry, dried porcini, just lovely, medium(-) mouthfeel that jived with the 'crudo' part of meal (anchovies w chili oil/mackerel w black plum etc/black bass sashimi w scallion). Thanks to my homies & especially @Jonas Lafortezza for the wine bar suggestion. Savio Soares imp
