2023 Daniel Bouland Morgon Delys vignes de 1926 1.5L

“The very, very old vines that make up the Les Delys 1926 bottling have absolutely excelled in the excellent vintage of 2023. The wine comes in at an even fourteen percent octane and offers up a very deep and refined, black fruity nose of sweet dark berries, cassis, a hint of pomegranate, espresso, bonfire, spit-roasted gamebird, a complex base of dark soil tones and a topnote of currant leaf. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and extremely elegant in profile for young Morgon, with a deep, old viney and sappy core of fruit, stunning soil signature and grip, fine-grained tannins and a long, complex and absolutely seamless finish. These ancient vines have produced such a perfectly balanced wine in 2023 that one might be tempted to drink it on the early side, but there is so much still here to unlock…”
