I usually don't write multiple notes for a wine, but a ~year of aging has done incredible things for this bottling. What was a dense, dark monolith lacking acidity before is now a bright-fruited, acid-driven, beautifully developed bottle of Morgon. Plenty of structure and dark fruit still, but it is buffered by a deep mineral core and lots of floral aromatics. really nice wine.

What a spectacular young chenin blanc. This is at once mineral and ripe, with great depth and persistence. The nose is honeyed, rich and inviting. The palate is cooler, with donut peaches, wool, green pears and fennel. There is a lovely herbal quality here that helps the wine maintain a sense of freshness. The back of the palate is expansive, structured and mouth-coating. This is not one for acid freaks, but it is a wonderfully balanced wine in its own right and has the stuffing to age for quite a long time.
