Black cherry on the nose... On the palate, there's some earthiness too... This is a nice one... Not the super youthful Gamay that I love but maybe something more here?

Earthy but with red fruit. High acidity, soft tannins. Aged surprisingly well

Earthy black liquorice on the nose. Cranberry, smoke, and sour cherry on the palate. A bit tart, but time helps.

Cru Beaujolais. Floral notes with black currant savouriness, strawberry and underlying minerality. 2012 vintage.

$16 - tastes like an $18 bottle, for whatever that's worth. Bold nose, subtle spices and moderate tannins - really nice with steak.
