In a perfect spot - nose of anise, dark rust, red flowers. Tannins are resolved but still present - acidity is medium plus and there is lots of fruit on the palate. The finish is long with the fruit and savoury herbs continuing. Rich and supple on the tongue. This kept evolving during the 3 hours we had it - just slight changes but enough to have to keep coming back for another scent and taste.

Morgon and Fleurie with Charcuterie and Cheese (San Francisco): This was the uncultured cuvée (marked "N" on the back label). Similar light, rather anemic color. Some brett marks the nose. A little more body than the 2014 Dutraive, but still overall, light, dirty, short, and dried out. Not very good at all. Consistent with the one other bottle I've tried. This seems like the rare disastrous year for Lapierre although bottles showed more positively early on.

Drank from magnum on Christmas Eve. Just delicious and so food friendly with our Christmas Eve dinner of NY strip.roast prepared Sous vide, Joel Robuchon style mashed potatoes, glazed carrots, roasted Brussels sprouts with honey vinegar, and mushrooms.

Pure strawberry and tart cherry juice. Slightly short finish. Crushable.
