Pours a dark, muddy maroon into the glass. The nose is dark fruit with some mushroom and funk. The entry of this wine shows more of a tobacco and fig side. A little bit sweet with almost a noticeable tannin taking hold right at the start. This one was definitely locked up but only took about 30 minutes of time to show a very intricate front. The middle of this wine is black cherry cordial, very intricate, very dark. Finished smooth, but with a sharper sweet youthful oak. Good way to start the birthday weekend. — 8 years ago

Wow. Decanted off sediment 3 hours before serving and even the muddy remains tasted great. Dream tar and roses combo, with soy sauce overtones and silky tannins. This must have been impossibly rough in its youth. What a showing!! Eddy w/ C&C — 9 years ago

Funky like an old batch o' collard greens. A rain drenched muddy barnyard. Drank over the course of a few hours. Dissipated somewhat, but not entirely. — 9 years ago

2009 in 2016. All red fruit, fresh, strawberry, cranberry, cherry and lots of floral, violets, roses, and lavender- muddy/cloudy interesting soapy aftertaste (and it wasn't the glass)- very little oak influence — 10 years ago

This looked dead - muddy and rusty...but totally different on the palate. Bright red currants, so amazing, and softened nicely the longer it was open... — 10 years ago

It could sit a bit longer but ever last sip was enjoyed. A dirty Pinot noir that has great earthy tones, muddy some may say with a short finish. My last bottle, will be hunting out more. — 9 years ago

What a difference a year has made! Hazelnut, espresso, whiskeyed caramel expressions of the fragrant type. Heavy liqueur cherry chocolate. Real, muddy, earthy, cigar depth. Chocolate and coffee liqueurs with a vanilla cedar, toast and cobra venom. Burnt sugar and burnt earth leave you in the dust. — 10 years ago

Deep in color and fragrant on the nose, this dark ruby red from Sicily offers a powerful set of aromas: cassis, black olives, cigar box, leather, anise and smoke all come around fairly quickly. This is one of those wines I run across from time to time that smells so good I almost forget to drink it. Almost. The palate is dark and savory. Blackberry and black plum are the most notable fruit flavors, but the Morgante is all about the trimmings. There is a muddy forest floor component and, if you are new to wine, rest assured that it’s a good thing. Minerality comes in abundance and there is a hint of sage there, too, with notes of tea, coffee and root beer finding their way through. — 10 years ago

Deep aromas of blackberries, cocoa, leather and graphite. Muddy and awesome especially for under 20 bones. — 11 years ago

Rivery. Dry vanilla on hot fig and black currant compote. Muddy. Gooseberry, blackberry, vacillates between rock freshly lifted from muddy shallows, and a sweet basil note, maybe even a tiny bit of candied mint on cedar. Absolutely effluent and streamlined to the mineral rich finish complete with bay leaf and a wisp of smoked truffle. — 11 years ago

Last bottle cork fell apart had to filter into the decanter. These 97' are truly a pleasure. Caramel light purple rim, can smell a faint aged wine with that leads into mature dark fruits. Low Alcohol with black muddy blackberries being the overall tone. Taste... wow! So nice clean, all the way through the pallet with that mild acidity. Definitely drink now as you can get a sense of the fading fruits. But overall this is a superb drink — 8 years ago
