Nice, rounded Porter from the folks at Guinness. It has a dark colour with a very acceptable light carbonation and nut brown head that goes quite quickly. Taste wise, this is mild and smooth with hints of toffee and chocolate. Lovely. — 2 years ago

This was one of my contributions to the evening and this was easily one of the more compelling wines of the night, right up with the two 3.14’s by Foillard. While all the wines from Yvon Métras can be difficult to find, the “L’Ultime” is a unicorn. You hear about it; you read about it; you never see it. Popped and poured; no formal notes. The 2018 “L’Utlime” is about as deep, dark and concentrated a Beaujolais I have ever encountered. Yet, it remains unmistakably Fleurie…and unmistakably Métras as there were definitely some liberties taken in the cellar. That being said, it’s controlled and really lovely stuff. To be honest, I found this to be remarkably similar to the 3.14’s from Foillard however the L’Ultime is slightly more concentrated while still maintaining its trademark elegance. In contrast, the 3.14’s were a touch more structured and, frankly cleaner. Drink now with patience and through 2038. — a year ago

Bursting with lovely and rich red fruit—cherry, currant, hint of cranberry. Hints of spice and earth give it depth. Medium bodied with a long finish. — 5 years ago
