This is posted in the weekly virtual tasting thread here. Please join in for charity if you can.

But for those who are not participating, I figured this also deserved ot be posted on its own.

2005 Albert Morot Beaune 1er Cru Marconnets - France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Beaune 1er Cru (1/13/2015)
Admittedly too soon to be drinking this, but it does provide pleasure. There is some distinct raspberry fruit, subtle earthiness and a surprisingly velvety palate impression. There is some back end tannin, but it’s quite gentle. This is held together more by its acids, so it is quite easy to drink.

Thanks for the note. When I drank the '05 Bataillere and the '05 Bressandes last year, both still seemed positively embryonic. Fantastic potential, though.
