Another nice Cote du Py Morgon I tried recently, a tad more austere than some other similar examples from the region but still a nice wine for the price! — 5 months ago

This is upper level Beaujolais. Depth and texture in spades. Nose has perfectly ripe dark cherries and berries. Spice and crushed granite in the background, and a fresh-baked bread-like note. Deeply flavored (as one might expect from 50-yr old vines), with deep fruit, acids, and stony minerality all working together. Some very fine-grained tannin provides a little chalky feel in the finish. This will last and improve a few more years but is terrific now. — 3 years ago
It’s the colour of dark roses and blood. Lovely perfumed aroma with a hint of fragrant plums. Some flowers (maybe roses and lilacs?). Flavor is earthy with lots of leather, but it’s lithe and smoother than I expected from 100% Syrah. Plenty of tannins in there. Feel them on the tongue, teeth and lip. It’s an elegant, pretty wine. Clean and easy to enjoy. If it was a bit stranger and more complex it’d be stunning. At the price point of around $20 it’s great for a night with friends talking and enjoying the joy of wine. — 6 years ago
Quite light ruby garnet , wide garnet rim . A bit funky at first on the nose , touch farmyardy , then opens up to show some cherry , dried rose , touch earthy , herbal notes . On the palate this is again slightly funky , quite edgy acidity , touches of dried cherry , slightly gritty chalky notes . This needs time in the glass to show its best and does get better , but this might not be the best bottle . However , shows it mineral , herbal and dried cherry touches on the reasonable length finish . Drink now and over the next few years . At Restaurant Les Caudalies , Arbois — a month ago

Rich dark red fruit and tannic structure - a nice drink now but the wine will approve with age. — 8 months ago
Light Ruby color with aromas of berry fruit, dried herbs and floral scents. On the palate flavors of raspberry and blueberry with fruit flavors, muted raspberry and sweet cherry, hints of pepper spice, great balance with acidity. Soft tannins, medium+ finish ending with toasty cedar tones, pepper spice and earthy character. An enjoyable Pinot, good now. — 2 years ago

Reticent nose, fine tannins, still very primary, very enjoyable but better to wait another 10 years for this. — 5 years ago

Medium lemon yellow . Quite closed at first , this improves with air , actually was finished the following day . White flowers , camomile , quite chalky , a bit funky also . On the palate quite strict and direct , with quite sharp acidity , which does stick out a little bit . Quite lean on the palate On the palate there are notes of lemon , wet stone and white flowers . Quite good mineral , stony length . I can imagine this still ageing quite well , but it probably won’t improve very much . — a month ago
