What I want, what I need! Out of Cru Beaujolais. Given air. It needs some air so take your time time or decant in advance. I mean it is cool and fabulously balanced out of the gate but give it about 45 minutes and all sorts of aromas and flavors come out. Violets to wit. Besides those come greenery and bright blackberries and blueberries and it’s a geode in a glass. With time it is a geode giving life to violets.

Ripe cherry and wet granite, been several months since our last check-in, light improvement, enjoyable, love Morgon.

Deep purplish red in color. Light to medium body. Medium nose with currant, sour cherries, and red fruit. Mouthfeel is light and tart with bitter melon finish. A bit tight in structure with decent fruit and medium tannins. Medium low alcohol. Slight old world green vegetables and terroir. Medium acid.

One of the most firm/structured bottles of Gamay that I've ever tasted. Give this one some extended air time. Excellent wine.
