April 26, 2024 - Less Celebrated France WIMPS #176 26th April 2024 (La Trompette, Chiswick): My wine. A little cheesy on pouring. Pleased to report that this blows off with some swirling. There is a little brett that is right up my street with some plum fruit, a couple of ppm of Balsamic vinegar. Palate has some dark cherry, some plum and a little smoke. Not as good as my last bottle around 3 years ago but an honest, old-school Morgon with nearly 20 years on the clock. I might be being a tad harsh with it.

April 3, 2016 - Lovingly cellared. Cork broke in removal but wine was intact. Deep garnet to the eye. Cherries with a later hint of vanilla to the nose. Sound tannins with a little pucker. Structurally stillage worthy but I think the nuances are fading.

July 10, 2014 - 2005 Morgons: Full cherry red. In the nose, there's some reduction at first and some barnyard, but this goes away. It gets finer and finer, more and more expressive, there's some tar, there's clear black cherry fruit, it's more linear than expansive. In the mouth, there's some CO² at first, but also this goes away, fairly strong tannin, some tar again, very mineralic, long and round in the finish. At first, this was quite similar to a Northern Rhône Syrah, but it gained in Morgon profil with every minute. A great bottle of Morgon.

June 1, 2014 - I thought I'd age a bottle a bit just to see what happens. Dark garnet in colour, with some bricking. Classic, fruity beaujolais nose with mainly cherries, plums, and a hint of tar.Very fruity on the smooth, velvety, medium bodied palate. It really hasn't moved very much at all yet. Still quite simple and youthful: it should last a while (B+).
