Moulin-à-Vent, Beaujolais, Burgundy, France
This #beaujolais is great. I think handling has made a difference in this bottle. The color ran 3/4 down the elongated cork.
The body has garnet/cranberry/rose colors with light density and delicate top. The nose fumed of dense earth and bark spices. With time from dark raspberries to strong grape.
The palate is polar opposite with high TA and strong structure acid. The tannins are fine, long and drawn out. Subtle trace of table pepper and blue flowers picked up on the olfactory.

Delicious and light. Tannin strength grows with time but fruit appeal remains

So well structured that it almost tasted like a cab. Also stayed good a couple days after!

Smooth, balanced, pairs well with our favourite Thai dish- red curry chicken.
