February 26, 2023 - Delicious Morgon - decent fruit, medium tannin, would recommend to serve straight from the fridge and let it warm up in the glass. A bargain that will go several more years.
October 1, 2022 - In-Store Tasting (Some really bad wines) (Bloomington, MN): Very drinkable for $17 a bottle. Cherry, earth, spice, minerals, floral and a touch of smoke on the finish. Medium plus and enjoyable on the pop and pour.
November 29, 2021 - Great Beaujolais Cru.
October 28, 2021 - ≈1 hr slow ox; Private Preserve used after Day 1.
N: Ripe straws with a floral component, hints of cherries & a distinct mineral component
P: Rndish entry; LM body; Nice, almost swtish frt met by a counterbalancing, ZESTY acidity which seamlessly transitions into a fairly LONG, pleasantly balanced, tangy/SWT finish. Performed equally well solo & with food.
// Day 2: Equally pleasant aromatically; P also nicely ~ Day 1, acidity POSS a TAD > assertive vis-a-vis the frt, though not even REMOTELY a problem. Once again, worked well both solo & with food.
// Day 3: Seemed to have held acceptably, though tough to say for certain as the night's Beef Chili with Beans was a challenging match for it.
// ∑: A *solid* EXC- (90,91/100 using that metric) regardless of price, my EXC given the $12.99 pd for this lighter bodied food wine on 10/26/21. Would have repurchased, though as Costco was out my next trip there... 😕 12.5% ABV
July 25, 2020 - Un Morgon assez tannique et peu fruité, mais encore jeune. Faudra p-ê attendre. Nez interessant, mais oui assez dure et astringent.
July 8, 2020 - Mauvais.
February 8, 2020 - Une "exclusivité" SAQ dépôt qui a mon avis, ne vaut ni le coût ni le déplacement. Astringent et manquant de fruit. Un vin dur et peu plaisant. Loin de l'idée que je me fait d'un bon Beaujolais.
