Everything I dislike about the 2015 Beaujolais vintage dialled up to 11. No acid. Baked, raisin-y fruit. Flabby. 14.5% alcohol. I mean, thankfully no new oak - otherwise you'd think this was an anonymous Paso red blend. It's not a terrible wine. It's just not Beaujolais at all.

Big and jammy. Not subtle. Acid saves the day. Like a dessert gamay, if that's possible.

Gotta say this vintage is just too ripe no finesse

16/20 (88/100) Аромат ежевики, черешни и вишневой косточки. Высокая кислотность. Танины бархатистые, обволакивающие, но не вязкие. Ягодное во вкусе. #dfwe2018

Enjoying the jammy fruitiness! Great pairing with duck breast in cassis reduction.
