Community Tasting Notes 2

  August 21, 2017 - Insipid, too basic, pleasnt restaurant quaff. More resemblance to Beaujolais Villages than Morgon. None of the ecstatic Morgon character or depth that the 2014 vintage has shown in all of the other Morgons and other cru Beaujolais I have had in the past year. Lots of candied cherry and some acidic earthy flavors, with a mixed berry nose.

  May 29, 2017 - 12.5% alcohol. I am starting a new entry because I do not see either "tradition" or "vieilles vignes" on the label; maybe the label varies according to the market. Cork of standard length and vg density.
  
  The colour is quite deep for Gamay, with a remnant of purple tinges. Very enticing nose of redcurrant and violet. The mouth is just as good, with tremendous energy and zip and the same fruity/flowery flavours as on the nose.
  This is irresistible in its present state, but it will probably age gracefully for another five years; will it get better though?
  This is in my ten best Beaujolais, and certainly a repeat purchase. It has all the positive attributes of "vin nature", in the form of vibrant fruit and direct pure unadulterated flavours, without the funky/deviant/reduced notes that plague a good half of these wines.
