Côte de Besset Saint-Amour Gamay

Perfumed cherry Jolly Rancher with a touch of wet stone and dusty tannins. Think a couple years in the wine fridge did this good!

Liked it but didn't love it. Quite ripe with lots of "lift" or shall I say pronounced VA. A chill did it some good.

Fabio has my heart.

Really impressive and structured for St Amour

I'm glad we can get this at home.

Beyond amazing Beaujolais. Had this over a couple of nights. Easy drink with or without food

YOU KNOW IT. You know it.

Crazy nose on this one - very meaty and jerky-like, with hints of fresh tennis balls and the strong scent a bull elephant in musth. On the palate, light and fruity initially, finishing with that meaty, musthy flavor from the nose. Mellowed quite a bit after being open a couple of hours, into more of a traditional Beaujolais, with just a hint of pepper and that funkiness that dominated at the start.

More full bodied and less acid than expected. Pretty rich mouthfeel and light to medium tannins on finish. Benefits from a little chill but becomes one dimensional if too cold. Decent but not awe inspiring
