Albert Morot Beaune 1er Cru Marconnets 1997

Albert Morot Beaune 1er Cru Marconnets 1997: This wine has a darker, deep red colour, when compared to last weeks Teurons 1er Cru 1996 from this producer. The nose, despite this being a younger wine, has richer, more opulent blackberry fruit, mushrooms, dark chocolate, and a hint of toasty oak. The body is substantial, with a fat texture, grainy tannins and lovely balancing acidity. A blackberry and chocolate flavour profile. Somewhat tannic finish. A good wine, again with ageing potential. Good, potentially very good. (11/11/00)
