So-five years in, the cherry pop has worn off & it’s a more solemn, damp earth, dark red fruits affair: tertiary flavors. I have to say In not crazy about drinking cru Beaujolais w age as it seems to defeat the purpose of Beaujolais— the vibrancy & bounce in the palate has moved on. That said, will keep trying. — 17 hours ago

A still wine from Andalucía, and a funky one at that. A little frizzante, a little cider-ey, a little oxidized. Fun. Like the label. And Priced accordingly. — 5 days ago

Has a predominant Unami note, not entirely unpleasant, but can’t shake the sense the varietal is stuffed into the wrong Format (ie, rose) here. Still, I might try again. Also a bit hot & disjointed. — 9 days ago

For Burgundy lovers: a round, no hard edges, completely & subtlety Oaked chard. Quite compelling, & 20$-under. Very elegant. — 4 days ago

Really interesting. Low alcohol-12.5%-quite tannic so has some legs to age, or benefits from a robust decant ( which we didn’t do). On nose plenty of wild raspberry, palate is somewhere between an old school Bordeaux & Saumur red( blend is 70% cab franc & 30% merlot), along with serious tannic structure. Serious natural winemakers too. — 8 days ago

Borgueils for me are like cru Beaujolais- joyous, vibrant & low tannins. Wines to make you smile. This has red & black currants, like Ribena, which for any Brits out there, is one of those delicious flavor profiles I just adore. Less on the pencil shavings here & more of the Ribena. — 12 days ago

Overly extracted & uni dimensional in its sweetness, an annoying artificial raspberry flavor. Gave it a chance on day 2 but just more of the same. Proof positive that “organic grapes”does not=good wine. I suspect too the problem lies not in the vineyard but in a driving sensibility to make money from a “modern” style. The only raspberry this wine earns is the (raspberry) sound I’m making now... — 4 days ago

Tasted blind & thought a muscadet on lees or a Loire Sauvignon blanc blend. Just absolutely riveting when you consider the retail under 15$-this producer churns out a whole line of great QPRs, like their Aglianico. This has tang, definition, & soul, especially for a varietal I’m not an Uber fan of. — 8 days ago

B day wine after two weeks dry & taking anti inflammatory rx. This all about freshness, lightness, & acidity. Salinity cuts through all. — 13 days ago
