93+ points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "These very, very old vines, planted back in 1926, are responsible for the only Morgon from Daniel Bouland that has landed a bit higher in octane than customary in the 2018 vintage, as this wine comes in at an even fourteen percent. However, the wine is very precise and vibrant on the nose and seems just a tad lower in octane than this, as it offers up a deep and black fruity nose of black cherries, cassis, woodsmoke, raw cocoa, gorgeously complex, dark soil tones, currant leaf, lavender and exotic spice tones of cumin and clove. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and sappy at the core, with marvelous focus and grip, ripe, suave tannins and a long, plush and very complex finish. The slightly higher octane level here is only apparent in the more easygoing and plush texture of the wine out of the blocks, as there is more ripe, puppy fat fruit here to cover the structural elements. Great juice in a very slightly riper style. 2024-2055. (Jan/Feb 2020)"
