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

I've been in New York for 2 years. This wine has been in this bottle for 19. Our experiences have changed us but we're better than ever and much more expensive now

A little reduced at first, but after 30 minute decant its opening up beautifully. Floral, herbal, earthy and fruity...and very much still young and vibrant.

When Beaujolais gets old it turns into Pinot.

Dinner in the garden at Battersby, a very pleasant treat. Lively red fruit throughout the time been open, floral, herbal and of course lots of earthy minerality.
