  Just like the previous bottles, this was vinegar.

  2004 Marcel Lapierre Morgon. Was worried since i took posession of a couple of these bottles - the colour in them is so pale it looked like a rose and I wasnt sure what to expect. Stood it up, carefully decanted off very fine sediment and WOW. The floral lift off the nose was stunning. It rolled into blood orange, a bit of cinnamon and licorice and again this floral lift on the end and hints of mint. In spite of being a shade past rose there was good body and acidity to it. Mrs. VeV remarked that all the hallmarks of young bojo - the strawberries, sappy fruits, bubblegum notes were nowhere to be found and she loved it too. Great foil for BGE roast chicken and a green salad.

  This came out like rose colored water, highly acidic and with some VA. Seems to have turned into vinegar... Fill and capsule was fine, but the wine, unfortunately, was not.

  What a great wine. Morphed and evolved, heavily. Started off life w/ a heavy CNP kinship with a heavy iron overlay and a dose of funk - seems like many Morgons do this at opening. From there, into a Pommard (Volnay side) lookalike. Then moved into something else (can't remember - though pine stands out), and closed out the bottle with a tapered diminution of the whole thing. Living, beautiful wine. Good acids. Did someone have a problem with 04? I like it, almost everywhere north of Lyon.

  Half bottle. On the nose, spices and dusty red cherry fruit. On the palate, quite light - especially compared to the 2005, tasted several times recently. Dried red fruit and spices - clove. Much better showing, compared to a 750ml of the 2004 I had recently (see TN).
