Oh. Mmm. Gee. OMG. We have conquered–more than “covered” we’ve conquered! By which I mean we guzzled our ways through, in reverse order:
And!
Oh shit okay just go with me on the following pertaining to the following. And trust me because I use words like pertaining even when sipping alcoholic bevs.
The Transformers show song?
It was “more than meets the eye”. Those were the lyrics. But as a kid I thought it was “Morgan meats the eye”, which I imagined meant a guy named Morgan or Morgon was in the kitchen making a nice meatloaf of eye.
I was wrong. And Morgon wine tastes eons better than I’d imagine meat-y eyeloaf does, even if made by Morgon himself.
Morgon has no plans of “meat-ing” anything. But it has some damn fine vino.
Hell this wine:
2013 Chateau Grange Cochard Morgon Cote du Py.
Holy hell the cherry, the violets the…Violets. Again. Like Chiroubles. But also. The blueberries and maybe honey?
It is certainly more than meets both the eye AND the nose. Take that, Transformers.
Oof
Okay WSET standards:
Eye: clear, medium ruby, medium slow tears but remember it is more!
Nose: clean, medium plus intensity, cherries, grass, strawberries and blackberries and some citrus (barely but once I call it out you’ll say fuck yah) whiffs. On the nose the hey fresh!-ness hits ya.
Tongue: dry, medium acid, medium minus tannins, medium alcohol–guessing 13% (just checked it whilst editing it is 13% which is medium whaddaya know the WSET’s taught me well). Body is medium. Flavor intensity is medium but…almost medium plus pending what temp you get served.
Taste, specifically is ALL the black cherries and blackberries and some dang grass and a hint or three of bloody raw green pepper but in a way I liked!
And those beautiful candied violets. Go find some violet pastilles. You’ll see. Violets and anise in perfect balance.
Definitely more than meats anything.
Especially if like me you don’t eat meat. Have some more wine instead.
Scrumptious Gruel
