Just don't understand the love for this wine. Big and powerful for a Beaujolais, but stuck me as a little sour and acidic. A years age has helped it, but I'll wait at least one more before trying again...

Lots of minerals and iron, with just a little sour red fruit. Not much pleasure in this, and I just don't see what draws rave reviews from others. Not for me...
