Nice American chardonnay. Ok acidity. Green apple notes. Perhaps a little tropical fruit. Nicely balanced. — 8 years ago
Wonderful cab- still young, grippy tannins, nice fruit. — 9 years ago
Fruit forward and a little hot, with savory notes, but eminently enjoyable. — 9 years ago
Another fantastic example by nic morlet. Maybe tasting at the winery makes a difference? — 11 years ago
@David A Lentine @Christine @Gina Sabean @Robert Takahashi If the nose could have won Wine of The Night then Kenzo would have won. It was soft and seductive, enticing you to relish in its beauty. For as much as we re-visited the Morlet which truly set the benchmark we found ourselves revisiting the Kenzo to compare the nose. Truly beautiful for such a young wine. Unfortunately, youth has its benefits and drawbacks. It was just a 1/10th of a step behind the Morlet due to its youth. Not quite as broad or with as long of a finish. However, we stopped splitting hairs & are now splitting Atoms at this point if you catch my drift. What an absolute Beaty this was this evening!! Simply stunning!
BUT Alas., it was a tasting and a vote must be rendered. 2nd it was but by the smallest of margins. Give this baby a few years to grow into its own and get ready to see a star shine! Bravo!!! And thank you so very much for my birthday gift this year Bob!! IOU one! — 8 years ago
A great offering from Luc Morlet in a tough vintage from my favorite small vineyard. Dark fruits with a soft tannin finish with hints of anise and tobacco. — 8 years ago
Finally trying the 2009 Morlet Bouquet Garni the nose has a peppery earthy & the comm#es a blackberry liqueur, the palate I has a rich cassis & blackberry syrup with a couch or pencil lead or graphite and soft tannins integrating in this wine with a long finish! — 8 years ago
This is probably the best SB I have had this year and I have enjoyed a lot... Aged very well and has still a long future! Luc Morlet is the winemaker. — 8 years ago
This is NOT my mother's Chenin Blanc! It is got some funk but with wonderful citrus notes, m#reminds me of a Morlet la proportion Doree but not as highly extracted! Paired well with Lon's Louie salad! — 8 years ago
Lots of dark currant cassis berry fruit with dark chocolate and toasty oak spice very complex and rich on the tongue thick berry fruit the Dillon family is behind this label nick Allen is the principle and Luc Morlet is the winemaker very juicy with a long layered finish. Finish 50+ — 10 years ago
