Dark yellow. Touch of sherry on the nose. Chalky but oxidized and way over the hill.

Corked
Tart green tones. Typical Sauvignon flavors, good acidity. Some background flesh. Good.
Very light color. Some melon rind flavors. Light weight and not much of an impression.
Dry, apply and mineral. Off dry with some burnt sugar on the finish. Odd.
Slightly funky nose. Green tones, pear, off dry. A bit plodding and neutral.
Light color and weight. Simple. Tart cranberry fruit.
Much more floral than the l'Ancien. Crisp with cherry and licorice. Very nice. Back to more typical Beaujolais style after the monster '09s.
Viscous, some interesting citrus and spice. Acidity is not bad but it still finishes dull.
Dark. Redolent of violets. Lean first impression with licorice taste, good acidity. Some sap shows up later. This is a lot of wine for the price.
More floral than the Brezeme but in a different way. Riper, spicy fruit with strong herbal elements. Good tannic punch at the end. Very good.
