Macman77 Likes this wine: 90 points
August 2, 2023 - Blueberries, raspberries, violet, licorice, and a hint of candies in the nose
Fruity (raspberries, blueberries) and intense almost meaty taste.
As usual a solid wine from Descombes. -

July 2, 2022 - Good poise. A little less rich than the Morgon VV 2018 but this was a well-balanced wine with a lot going on. Funk, berries, a bit of texture and weight, granitic, irony minerality. 89-90.
