Aug 4th, 2018So fresh and smoking. Fresh strawberry and red fruit, smoke, minerality. Everything in balance and finished much too quickly.

Takes a slight detour on the finish but I believe that is due to the wine's structure and not a flaw. It will be fascinating to watch the remaining bottles develop over the next 5 to 8 years.

Mar 3rd, 2017A classically done wine by a classic producer. This Morgon expression is more on the garden earth/mineral/floral spectrum than the fruit spectrum, which is fine by me. Dense and structured, was singing after an hour in the decanter.

Nov 20th, 2016Tee'd up for coq au vin at home. This has progressively gotten better with each bottle from the case. Sad to only have two bottles left.
