  7/27/2023 - Voodoo_Champagne Does not like this wine:

  This could be a wine from Rhone, no Gamay at all, too heavy on alcohol not tasty, just uninteresting .
  I'll go for Côte Roannaise anytime, so we did in the next bottle what a relief.

  2020 Louis Claude Desvignes Morgons: Very reticent on the nose initially. While there's some red fruits with pomegranate and black cherry, the nose is mostly dominated by its herbal and spice tones with caraway, coriander, cedar, and soil tones. Spicy, almost peppery entry. Very similar to the 2020 Aux Pierres tasted alongside it, but a bit longer and more concentrated. Some hollowness in the mid-palate, and a rather uninspiring short finish leave me wanting something more in this wine. Alcohol feels less obtrusive than the 2019 version of this wine, but still quite noticeable.
  
  ABV: 14.5%
  Closure: natural cork
  Stem: Grassl Cru
  Decant: 1h

  After 5 hours wellneeded in a decanter: First you have the taste of sweet blueberries in this fullbodied wine. Then massive dry tannins that longs for ageing to become a great wine.
  
  Drink from 2030+

  Very primary still, somewhat flat aromatically upon opening. I found this to be quite ripe and lacking a bit of balance. I will sit on my remaining bottles for a few years before opening

  Perfectly ripe. Luscious and succulent, dense but light on its feet. Aromatically demure to begin with but explodes with air. Loaded with raspberries and black cherry. Delightful floral nuance and excellent underlying minerally structure. Fabulous length.
