I picked up a bottle of this at auction hoping for a similar experience from by bottle from 6 years ago. No such luck - this bottle was lifeless and just plain dead.

As with the 2011 Morgon "Les Charmes" from this producer that I opened recently, this needed tons of air to show well. On the pop 'n pour (and a couple hours of slow ox), this was really light and thin and unremarkable. After vacuvin'ing overnight and slow ox'ing another hour, this transformed into a really beauty. Still very light, but so elegant and nuanced with gorgeous earthy Gamay flavors.

Paired well with braised rabbit. Good fruit. On the nose, a touch of stems, black raspberry. Good acidity, and a touch of tannin. Good pairing.
