Solid Cru Beaujolais. Medium garnet color. Bright aromas of ripe red and black cherries, earth and violets. Expressive flavors of red and black cherry/raspberry/currant fruit, tobacco and a pleasant hint of baking spices. A bit of black pepper and the presence of stemmy carbonic maceration on the very long and tingly finish. Quite juicy and crisp. Fruit forward, nicely structured and pretty well balanced. — 8 months ago

Did not experience any nose. Palate was mandarin orange. Light kiwi maybe? Very well balanced acidity wise. Super drinkable! Love it! A Joe Godas selection… — a year ago

Having this 22 again and it’s still a little young but beautiful and enjoyable and food friendly so far with a pan seared bluefin tuna,. Then paired with a Delice de Bourgogne, and some strawberries, absolutely perfect. Quite full and lively with a taut black stone structural element. Very drinkable. — 8 months ago
2022-3 winter. The previous bottle of this I had felt like the most overripe and in-Burgundy-like 2018 I’d tried, and by some margin. I figured some time might help, but have a growing suspicion that my cellar is too cold to really mature wines without multiple decades of wait. So…experiment time. I stored this for a couple of years in the basement but outside the cellar. It’s not a textbook environment, at least for the summer months. Lo and behold, this had loosened up a fair bit, with more expressiveness on the nose too. It was still riper and heavier than it needed to be but was good. Would it have been better with 30 years at 14 degrees? Perhaps, but it’s a near-academic question for me given the prices of burgundy these days. — 3 years ago
Really pretty blend. Musty and mineral-y. Not too fruity, subtle tannins. Very nice. — 5 years ago
