Upon opening, this had a nice, classicaly Morgon nose - grapey but somehow meaty. However, it faded fast, and within a glass seemed tired and sweet. Open and pour fast, but I wouldn't hold. As an aside, I've no idea why a Morgon should be so tired so it doesn't say too much for this wine.

Restrained herbal nose; medium, plush tannins on the palate, but light in flavor, showing mostly ripe cranberry and rosehips; with a medium short finish. It started coming more into its own after 45 minutes, so it certainly worth keeping in the short-to-medium term. Overall it's elegant and with excellent balance, but there's nothing else memorable about it -- not much character. 85-87

A nicely layered wine that is very earthy with leather, fig, strawberry, rose and chalk. Silky tannins with a great lingering finish.
