"I love the terroir of Murgers and the 2015 from Monsieur van Canneyt is a complete classic in the making. The bouquet delivers a superb mix of plummy fruit, red and black cherries, raw cocoa, a touch of venison, woodsmoke, dark soil tones and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and very sappy at the core, with excellent soil inflection, ripe tannins, vibrant acids and excellent backend energy on the long, focused and poised finish. This is properly reserved out of the blocks and will need a full decade to blossom, but it will be stunning juice when it is ready." John Gilman, View From the Cellar #66, Dec 2016 |
