Purple-grenat dress, semi-deep, beautiful shine. Deep herbal nose, more than fruity, smoked breeding note, earthy, sweet spices, pepper. Light body, with material and intensity to withstand several years of aging and still evolve. Has not yet reached full maturity. At D+2 it expanded. A fairly sober, but promising, Beaujolais on guard.
Robe pourpre-grenat, semi-profonde, bel éclat. Nez profond végétal, plus que fruité, note d’élevage fumée, terreux, épices douces, poivre. Corps léger, avec de la matière et de l’intensité pour supporter plusieurs années de garde et encore évoluer. N’a pas encore atteint sa pleine maturité. À J+2 il s’est étoffé. Un Beaujolais de garde assez sobre, mais prometteur. — 3 years ago
Great flavors and concentration but lacking a little vibrancy. Lots of granite and ripe black cherry on the nose, along with wisps of flinty smoke. Deep cherry fruit on the palate, along with deep minerality. A bit of tannin, too, but the knitting acids are kind of low, resulting in a looser feel than I’d prefer. Still, pretty darn good. — 4 years ago
