Purchased at the winery and cellared since. Quite refined and balanced. Drinking young so it should last several more years. Not an overtly fruity wine which I find as a positive. Lingering finish. Fantastic with a bit of a chill on the bottle with a frittata.

Dark red purple in the glass. Aromas of blackberry, dark spices and some cherries. Dulls through the mid-palate but then as the tannins begin to coat the mouth, there is an explosion of dark fruits and a nice long finish.
With a bit more air, an earthiness creeps in.
Very nice.

Really interesting nose. Floral and wet earthy smells. Pallet developed after being open for a while. Quite tannic, and possibly lacking some more pronounced fruit.

Compared to the Morgon Vieilles Vignes lighter, more supple and forward, with lovely fruit and floral notes, not as tannic but just as precise and mineral; very fresh, clean and elegant, lovely, svelte and true-to-to-type. Charming indeed. A steal at € 9.95. Now - 2014, although it may last a lot longer.
