I love when Morel is on and boy is this on. Nose is wooly and hickory based. Sweet acacia as well. Lanolin and lemon flesh and gorgeous mineral. Palate rich, energetic and bracing. Compact and deep with crazy linearity and focus. Like a laser. So clean. This needs air as it is JJ Morel but out of the gates it’s wonderful. So juicy and engaging. Amazing sap. Now with air you get that wet earth thing that is so clear.

Jun 22nd, 2023Started out slightly premoxed. Put a cork in it and returned in an hour. Color is a bit suspect but the wine is great. Nose is classic Morel. Hazelnuts, iodine, white flowers, green apple and that “natural” thing. Just gorgeous. So refined, elegant and complex, yet subtle. Palate is juicy, textured and ripe. The acid is woven in there like a fine scarf. Long finish. So balanced and pure. Wow. Never count any wine out.

Jul 11th, 2021The final white of JJ Morel I will ever taste. First one that is not with him thanks to Covid-19. It’s bittersweet. Just an amazing nose. So bright. So high toned. Citrus jelly. Smoke. Hickory. Hazelnuts. Saline. Inside of a fancy chocolate found in some exotic assortment box. The one you have to ask “what’s in this?” Palate is electricity. Impossibly complex. Stunning deep and very expressive minerality. Perfect supernal balance. Big attack. Long and gentle finish. Amazing mid palate. Finish is super zesty. Pure and layered. The sum of the parts in full effect here. A wine of indescribable genius. A swan song like no other.

Aug 10th, 2020What a nose. Stunning clarity, lemon, lemon peel, clean air, amazing purity, it’s so mineral, so balanced, so clean, so pure. It’s just ridiculous. It’s so elegant and focused. What a finish.

Jul 1st, 2019What a nose. Huge Apple, pear, lanolin, herbs, mint sprig, complex, so deep. Headspinning. Palate is subservient. So deep and so clean. Complex, rich, balanced. So pure. Like Boito.

Oct 1st, 2018Nose has vinegar saturated oak, toasted hazelnut, wet silica sand, jasmine on fire and orange rind jelly.
Palate has charred walnut, lime rind, under-ripe orange, wet sandstone, hazelnut butter with a long finish.
Cork pulled for slow oxidation at 10H, then double decant for service.
I think this is a 24-36H bottle, too youthful to evaluate fully but it should go the distance, 10+.

Hazy medium gold color, white flowers, lemon, stone fruit, iodine, med body and med + acid, better with air and as it warms ⚡️
