  A bottle with an imperfect cork which allowed minuscule amounts to seep out. Overall the wine was at its expected drinking stage, maybe a touch advanced. Stewed cherries, mushrooms, wood floor with noticeable dusty tannins which leave a plucky mouthful for minutes as finish. It is light in weight with a noticeable gentle alcohol burn to finish the mid palate. Not tired in anyway just a bit more advanced as expected.

  Deep concentration of ruby, youthful garnet rim. On the nose intense tart red and black berries secondary spice characteristics with a slight elevage. On the palate fine grained tannins high acid medium alcohol medium bodied round texture well balanced medium complexity with a medium length finish. Expressing Burgundian qualities, here too is an archetypal Morgon (cote du py) confirming the ageability that is frequently apparent within the beaujolais cru sub-$20.

  Légèrement briqué. Le nez est fin sur des notes de poivre rose. C'est le point fort. En bouche le fruit est un peu mince et l'acidité bien présente. Longeur moyenne. Semble sur le déclin ou encore problème de bouchon (qui semblait ok). Ce n'est pas le souvenir des premières bouteilles....
  
  P.S., 4 bouteilles de la caisse furent retournées à cause de bouchons défectueux qui ont coulé ce qui a oxydé le vin, le rendant plat et acide. Dommage, sans doute une malchance.

  Good currant and red fruit. Fruity yet gives you fullness.

  2nd bottle . Good balance of fruit and full bodiness - currant and black berries with a tartness that fades nicely away.
