All right, clear your sinuses and strap in – there’s a vast array of smells to discover here. Big bunches of dried herbs, the kind that hang above the deli counter, campfire smoke, fine white pepper, cut black cherry, dried persimmon, a smattering of asian spice mixed with vanilla and cinnamon – bread and butter raisin pudding somehow comes to mind…When your nose has had its fill the palate is plush, fine, and juicy with concentrated, juicy red fruit that gets stuck in your cheeks while the tannin whispers sweet nothings to you. A downright delightful, early-drinking style.
Morgan Dunn was a Melbourne based sommelier with over 10 years of experience. He was one of our very first Winepilots and wrote a regular wine column for The Australian and contributed to various publications including Noble Rot. In 2017 he was named 'Emerging Wine Writer of the Year' at the Louis Roederer International Wine Writers' Awards as well as receiving the Wine Communicators of Australia award for 'Best Published Feature Article or Wine Column'. He spoke Japanese and was planning to write a book on Tokyo wine bars and wine culture in Japan. In his spare time Morgan played piano, enjoyed snowboarding and went to Escape Rooms with his twin brother. He is deeply missed by many.
