  This is not in a good phase at the moment. Dull matt fruit and still a little bitter. This seems shut down. Try again in a couple of years as there is a hint of raspberry fruit in the background. However I don’t expect to see this start drinking particularly well before it’s 10th year. Hold.

  Prune, datte (!). Tanins poudreux. Je comprends pourquoi Wine Advocate lui a mis 93. Il va tenir longtemps, dans un style puissant et un peu lourd.

  6/3/2021 - bourgogre Likes this wine:

  C'est le Morgon traditionnel tel qu'on le goûtait il y a 20 ans.
  Le millésime 2017 ayant produit des vins plus légers, on voit poindre les
  saveurs d'antan. Quand il faisait moins chaud...
  
  Le fruit, sur les dattes, survole des tannins encore légèrement sablonneux en finale.
  
  Rien de rédhibitoire cependant, ce Morgon est encore jeune et ça se polira en une année ou deux.
  
  (**1/2) en l'état et à revoir.

  Decent youthful red fruit but I suspect starting to shut down. Nice generic young Beaujolais flavours, but I think this will come into its own in about 5 years.

  First from a case. The merchant substituted this case for something else I’d ordered without asking and I was pretty cross and nearly sent it back. In the end I decided to keep it. Interesting nose, youthful bubblegum at first but that gives way to something more floral, violets and also a hint of raspberry - nice. My first taste of Beaujolais from this vintage and I like the freshness and balance, none of the heft one got with 2015. Cherry more than raspberry flavour, fresh and fragrant, medium weight, a touch light? Don’t know at this stage. Tannin on the finish, this would age. Try again in a couple of years.
