2021 Domaine Albert Morot Beaune 1er Cru "Cent-Vignes"

This is also pretty but brooding with its reticent nose of plum, dark currant, more discreet earth and crushed anise scents. The sleek, detailed and punchy medium-bodied flavors also conclude in a youthfully austere and slightly more complex finale that it shaped by firm but fine-grained tannins. Lovely. *Burghound Outstanding!*

This bottle here is one that seems a little more tightly knit still - the finish hinting at sandalwood and white pepper overlayed the black cherry fruit which I could see both in the nose and the mouth; not too weighty but well balanced. I agree too with our critics that speak of the floral aromatics, but they are subtle in the classic Burgundian way. I would personally age this wine for several years before opening, as those aromatics should evolve quite well and the bottle should gain some of the savoury-sweet weight we love in aged burgundy.
