More open and generous than the last bottle, by some distance... more time to rest after bottle shock? Who knows.
This time, all of its juicy cherry, cranberry and strawberry goodness is available from the beginning, the acidity is appetizing instead of sharp, and there is a beautiful silky texture on the finish.

Feels a bit thin and acidic after popping but after some air it fills up nicely with juicy, brambly fruit that gives the feeling of eating barely ripe berries out of a bag, pips and all.

Way too young now and not up to the marvelous 2020s that I've been enjoying. Nevertheless, this is definitely a Morgon for the future. As I've indicated repeatedly in my reviews of village-level Beaujolais, they are currently one of the best buys in red wine on the market — maybe even THE best buy.

Black pepper and strawberry still. Nice wine.

Wonderfully smooth and light, yet flavorful and well balanced. Paired perfectly with cherry jam pork tenderloin.

Light and easy drinking, with bright red fruit on the palate. Interested to see what this wine does over the next year or so.

Strawberry and black pepper with some darker plum aspects. Young and fruity now, interested to see how it evolves.
