What a great style ...garnet with tertiary smokey dried cherry hints of brett character on the nose and on the palate it's dry with fresh acidity juicy dried cherry hints of dried herbs earthy and smokey with a textured finish that lingers. Great value. Thank you Galileo Wine & Spirits — 20 days ago

Pulled from my cellar and brought to Tasting Group. Decanted for sediment and served within 30 minutes of opening. Cork was pulled with a Durand; intact and saturated about halfway. In customary fashion, served double-blind to the group. The color is a deep, slightly hazy garnet. Medium viscosity. The nose is insanely expressive. Mushrooms and forest floor dominated early but these characteristics actually took more of a back seat to the fruit after about 30-45 minutes of air. At that point, desiccated red fruit with strawberries, cherries and cranberries were predominate followed by Salmiaki, dried flowers, with the mushrooms and the forest floor. Some baking spices too. Sneaky tannin…putting it medium+ and medium+ acid. Moderate alcohol. The finish was long and silky. Such lovely lovely fruit still and dare I say, intense! The group was all over France and Italy with some choosing Barbaresco, some saying Brunello, some in Burgundy and others saying Southern Rhone. All were blown away that it was a 15 year old Beaujolais. Drink now or over the next few years. — 15 days ago

Second day open.
N: Funky Sanguineous , Cassis, plums, graphite, soil.
P: Black fruits, licorice, tar, gravel. Sandy tannins stand up and make you take notice.
Performed nicely on day two, lots of stuffing.

Really good. Nose has ripe, crisp cherry, crushed rock, moist gravel, sweet spice. Palate is nicely balanced. Fruit, acids, very fine-grained tannin, crushed, high-toned rock dust. Could easily age a few more years. — 11 days ago
