2015 Georges Duboeuf Morgon Jean Descombes
Estimated value

Tasting notes
Vivid magenta. An expressive, highly perfumed bouquet evokes black raspberry, cherry compote and candied flowers, and a suggestion of smoky minerals contributes vivacity. Round, sappy and sweet, offering juicy red and blue fruit and floral pastille flavors and a subtle allspice flourish that builds on the back half. Clings with impressive tenacity and gentle tannic grip, leaving an echo of dark berries behind.

The 2015 Morgon Jean Descombes felt a little reduced on the nose, although there are attractive wild strawberry and raspberry preserve scents waiting to unfold. The palate is medium-bodied, fleshy and plum with red cherries, strawberry and a touch of orange rind. Nicely focused with a keen thread of acidity towards the finish maintaining freshness, this should turn out to be a very fine Morgon with 12-18 months in bottle.
