Georges Descombes Description
This is a classic version of the Descombes Morgon VV, showing ripe high-toned black raspberry and tart cherry aromas with plum, violet, citrus, earth and brown spice, really lovely. The elegant black and red fruits continue on the palate, which is quite saline and earthy as well, really showing the terroir. The wine is dense and structured but bright and balanced, finishing with refreshing acidity, citrus, cherry fruit, anise and mineral flavors. A recent bottle reminded us of why we consider the Descombes wines to be some of the best of the region. The fruit profile was beautifully developed and mature, the earthy flavors were well integrated on the mid-palate and in the long, mineral finish. Delicious now, this should be superb in three to five years, and should drink well till 2035 and beyond.
