Tasting notes
Brilliant violet color. A suave, spice-accented bouquet evokes fresh red fruits and candied flowers, and a mineral element adds urgency and lift. Bright, focused and appealingly sweet, offering lively raspberry and cherry flavors that tighten up slowly with air. Closes sappy, subtly tannic and extremely long, leaving a sexy violet note and a touch of smoky minerality behind.

The 2016 Morgon Grand Cras reveals a sapid bouquet of sweet red fruit mingled with potpourri, spice and subtle roasted game bird. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, ample and transparent, with tangy acids, good concentration and a youthfully chewy finish.
Closed up. Boarded up. Glimpses of very pure, high-toned red fruit. A flash of jewelled, pomegranate fruit. A ripple of ultra-fine, racy muscle and sinew. A finish threaded with spice, long and determined. So much beauty folded tightly up, like a blood-red rose bud. (TC)
