2008 Jean-Marc Burgaud Morgon Côte du Py “Réserve” - France, Burgundy, Beaujolais, Morgon (4/13/2012)
Decanted for 3 hours. This wine has softened and fanned out a bit relative to the bottle I tried last year, when it was pretty closed up. It’s definitely dark but quite light on its feet. The nose is a bit reticent but smells just like it tastes; this wine is all about crushed rocks, iron and chalky tannins but some raspberry fruit has come to the forefront. Acid levels are in check and not particularly astringent. Little to no funk or gaminess on this one. Straightforward gamay with nothing to dislike and nothing to love, except this vintage’s classic representation of the grape. No magic or spark here, but solid wine making for sure. (86 pts.)
