Jean Foillard Morgon Côte-du-Py 2014

Dark and plush from the start — boysenberry and blackberry pile in with real depth, trailing five-spice and a trace of forest floor. There's an appealing tension between the ripe, generous fruit and a mineral backbone that keeps everything honest and precise through the finish. Bitter chocolate arrives late, the sweetness swells, and supple tannins wrap it cleanly without any roughness.
