August 14, 2010 - Nick and Colleen's Engagement Dinner at Ma Langue Sourit, Luxembourg (Luxembourg): See my previous notes from this Summer on this wine. This was another great bottle. My original plan was to finish this vintage off this year as I felt it had peaked and then wait for my 2009's. But after the last couple of bottles I have decided to hold the last two till next summer. Drink by 2011.
August 14, 2010 - Ma Langue Sourit (Luxembourg): Slight variation to the last bottle but again a nice showing. Beautiful strawberries, raspberries and cherries. This time the difference was a zingie backbone. Added a nice depth to the wine.
August 1, 2010 - I agree with my fathers comments (gharbour) it was an exceptional showing.
August 1, 2010 - I will preface this note with the fact that wine has been somewhat inconsistent from bottle to bottle and this bottle was a standout. This wine is now rich red brown and dark in color. The only complaint was a slight haze. It has an aromatic nose of aged prunes, faint strawberries, smoke, and red licorice. It was full bodied with soft round tannins and a powerful flavor of baby port with prunes, strawberries, tangerines on the finish, with a highlight of white pepper and vanilla. The finish is long and luscious. Drink it now for it is at it's peak. Don't wait more than 9 months! We had it with the course and while there were no super strong cheese it complimented them all nicely.
July 6, 2010 - Offered very little pleasure, unlike my previous two bottles.
December 3, 2009 - Maybe 92. What Morgan is all about.
September 25, 2008 - Text-book BJ, and still young. Easily a 20 year wine. (Looking at the notes below, it seems clear that there was a good shipment and a not good shipment. My bottle came directly from KLWM upon release.)
September 15, 2008 - Pretty ripe cherry nose, some V/A, rather enticing, but on the palate this went downhill, sour, stalky and metallic
February 23, 2006 - I thought I was going to like this a lot based on the nice burgundian nose, but the palate was spritzy and unpleasant. maybe the leftovers will drink better tonight.
February 5, 2006 - cloudy, a little fizzy. seems a little off. very delicate and was handled badly?
