April 1, 2024 - Très beau Morgon, bien fondu, toujours vif, sur la cerise croquante, la canneberge, pointe florale et pierre concassée. Rien n’accroche, tout est fluide, un peu simple pour le prix mais hautement digeste et très appréciable!
March 7, 2024 - Zuni Cafe Chicken Night (Brad's Place, St. Paul, MN): Medium dark red color. Drank a glass plus over 90 minutes. Darker fruits, a little bitter earth, graphite and dried tobacco, with the palate showing some dried cherry, bitter cherry pit, and scorched earth with a bit more tannin to me. Medium plus bodied. While I thoroughly enjoyed both, I found the Py to be more elegant.
March 7, 2024 - Brad's Winner Winner Zuni chicken dinner night. BB,KB,ML & I. Brad's btl. Enjoyed this much more than my '16 Folliard Morgan Cote du Py in the same flight. Intriguing aromas of cigar ash, spice & underbrush. More lifted, refined and focused than my btl. Pretty mineral infused, sappy red fruit & spice. Reminds me a little bit of Chambolle Musigny in weight & elegance. I'll buy one for our house when I see it.
October 28, 2023 - Un vin qui a évolué dans la puissance. Les fruits rouges quoique que plus mature offrent encore une très belle fraîcheur. Superbe,
September 16, 2023 - Splendide bouquet, sur un mélange harmonieux de petits fruits des champs noirs comme le framboises & les mûres. Ces derniers sont bien mélangés à des notes d'épices douces & une impression forte de poussière de roche. Il y a une petite pointe de rhurbarbe en arrière plan. Bref, for élégant & invitant.
La bouche est principalement sur les petits fruits acidulé en attaque (fraise, framboise) & la rhubarbe. C'est énergique, vif, bien droit mais avec suffisant de matière & de mâche pour obtenir un bel équilibre. La finale est assez longue, principacelemnt sur des notes d'épices & de réglisses. Une belle impression de sol de rocailleux est omniprésent du début à la fin. Excellent!
July 30, 2023 - Another delicious bottle, a bit more singular with bits of earth and less brett with a bit more heft and a little less fruit but otherwise very consistent with prior tasting note
July 16, 2023 - Popped and poured but should have decanted for sediment. Medium ruby color, slightly cloudy. Nose of cranberry, earthy floral notes, pomegranate, a bit of strawberry. Very pretty. Similar flavors on the palate with a mix of juicy red fruits, pepper, earth and a bit of rusty iron/minerality on the back end. Medium+ acid, medium tannin and body. Really in a good place but room to develop.
June 29, 2023 - Not so young anymore, but just lovely.
