Domaine Jean Descombes (Georges Duboeuf)
Morgon Gamay
Popped and poured; consumed over three days. Consistent throughout. The wine pours a deep ruby color with a near opaque core. Medium+ viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. No signs of sediment. On the nose, the wine is redolent of dark fruits: brambles, dark, cherries, leather, fertile organic earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium acid. The wine is balanced. There is a bit more of an inorganic mineral finish. This is better than your typical Georges Duboeuf Beaujolais.
