Love this producer! Distinctly different from the 17' Metras Beaujolais this was drank with. The Metras - ethereal, earthy, briney, and could hardly last more than a day before it started becoming "beany". Now this wine on the other hand, held its ground and evolved over the course of 2 days. Structured, powerful, and dense. The nose is intense, offering a mix of red and black fruits, heaps of spice, and hints of florals. You can smell the warm sun here, and fruit almost feels kinda syrupy. The palate is rich with fine and very present tannins. Finishes very stoney and racy, projecting a feeling of energy and vitality This is delicious as it is now, but I'd prefer to keep it under locks for a while.

Rich and a bit weightier than i anticipated. Maybe not fully my thing but if you are partial to new world opulence it’s definitely worth drinking to see a different expression of that vibe.

WOW! Finally was able to find a bottle in Japan and had to go back to the shop to pick up the rest of their inventory (sadly only another bottle of 2017). Ripe berries, savoury spices and nice long finish. Yet the acidity keeps everything in check so it never gets jammy. Tons to love here!! @Aaron Tan finally found one!!

Jam on that. Beaujolais and vinyl, that’s a good after dinner pairing. Cat Stevens.
