In the perfect place. Nose is all red cherries, some dark cherries, minerals and earth. So pretty and aromatic. Palate is ripe and juicy with knockout purity and freshness. So sappy and tannins are ripe but lithe and elegant. Just gorgeous. — 8 months ago

Slight funk on the nose with hints of mushrooms. Leathery with slight acid to finish. Not much tannins so really good with light beef dishes (carpaccio and Tartarus, etc…). Good wine to have for dinner parties. — 4 years ago

9.1

Mild fizz and big notes of dark fruit. Blackberries, figs, and some light tannins. Definitely a more serious wine than what Meinklang typically churns out. Tasty. — 5 years ago

Very bright and sappy. Clear lemon, good minerality and a peachy midpalate. Great clarity- still dynamic with a flinty backbone — 6 years ago

"Slow Decanted" this white burgundy with the Vinloq System

DAY 1
👃Lemon/underripe pineapple with stony minerals/black pepper. Vivid
👅Glorious minerality from start to finish.
Lemony fruit takes a back seat to the minerality but there is plenty to provide balance. Great structure, very nice acidity, and a slightly oily texture. All bright and crisp

The remaining burgundy was Slow Decanted in my refrigerator

DAY 10
👃Minerals lead on the vivid nose with lemons in the background. Less flinty minerality than day 1
👅Lemon fruit followed by minerality coming on at the black pepper finish. Structure, acidity, and oily texture continue. Concentrated. Classy and well put together

The 2014 Morgeot Les Fairendes is going strong and was powerful and refined on DAYS 1 and 10.
No reason this cannot continue to improve based on the great overall balance

Was hoping for so much after the St Jospeh VV ‘04, but Meh....not good p/q. Nice northern rhone dark fruit savoury nose. Decent weight, balance and structure, but no better than a decent St Joseph or even a very good CduR. Passsss at this price point. — 5 years ago

Very enjoyable. A little reductive but could be the desired style and I like it. — 5 years ago

Ruby red color with a watery rim. Hint of large game blood, wet earth, and fresh dark cherries on the scent. Ripe dark fruit up front, sweet almost; followed by stern tannings and a dry finish. A young wine, medium body, almost light alcohol but with lots of character yet easy drinking. Unassuming wine, extremely enjoyable. One of those, great all-around, Southern Rhône blends... — 6 years ago

I loved this. Very concentrated. Kind of like that moment in the wine’s life before it bursts open and moves to the secondary stage. Tension. Would hold subsequent bottles to see where it goes. — 7 years ago

Fantastic. Touch of pear and apple, a hint of brioche, elegant bubbles, piercing acidity. — a year ago
