Domaine de Terres Dorees (Jean Paul Brun) Morgon 2018

93 pts Vinous

Deep, bright-rimmed ruby. Powerful, mineral-laced dark berry and cherry preserve aromas are complemented by hints of exotic spices, licorice and musky rhubarb. Supple and precise on the palate, offering intense blackcurrant, boysenberry and bitter cherry flavors that gain depth and turn sweeter on the back half. Shows excellent clarity and mineral lift on a very long, lively finish that's given shape and gentle grip by fine-grained tannins.

92+ pts Wine Advocate

From vines in Bellevue, the 2018 Morgon wafts from the glass with aromas of red plums, mulberries, smoked meat and spices. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, fleshy and enveloping, with a rich, layered core of fruit, powdery tannins and lively acids. This comes warmly recommended.
