After the hype from Somm2 and good feedback from wine biz buds, my verdict is this is a very, very good Beaujolais Cru. I definitely recommend you try it if you are into Burgundy or esp Cru Bojo. My wife guessed Burgundy blind when I poured it for her. Like ripe red raspberry and bing Cherry, with a dash of roasted herbs smeared on a granite rock...yeah, literally that. The aroma is a perfume of red fruits caught in a tug of war with a granite rock-like minerality and roasted herbs and forest floor. The palate is dead sexy, juicy and sappy fruit and acidity, with a perfect balance and elegance that feels weightless. Thanks for the enlightenment @Jason Wise and @Brian McClintic! Now I can add #dutraive to my faves from #beaujolais like #lapierre#thivin#foillard#sunier#thevenet

Tangy sour cherry and cranberry with just the right amount of funk. A gaminess that mixes well with crushed green herbs. Nice juniper note in the finish.

Definitely not my preferred Beaujolais vintage, but it is pretty impossible not to find hedonistic pleasure in the rich, almost exotic, fruit especially on Day 2.

I'm in love with these wines. So energetic and engaging in its youth, but this ought to mature into something really special. Tart cranberry juice with fennel and funk. Great texture. So much going on. Excellent.
