Critics Ratings
‘Mid crimson. Scented, succulent fruit. Lovely polished fruit on the front palate that opened out into a lush, flattering drink with such a lot of ripeness that the considerable tannins are almost completely disguised. Very impressive. The label says that decanting is recommended. I left the bottle open overnight to highly advantageous effect.’ - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17/20 (Jul 2010)
‘This bright Morgon has a nice tautness to it, fleshed out by attractive boysenberry, raspberry ganache and black cherry flavors. There's a tangy minerality throughout, with a smoky note on the finish.’ - Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator, 90/100 (Feb 2011)
