Introduction

Title says it all. Drinks at Jason's room at Amara Sanctuary Resort.

Flight 1 (2 Notes)

  • 2011 Jean-Paul Thevenet Morgon Vieilles Vignes 93 Points

    France, Burgundy, Beaujolais, Morgon

    Light soft nose with hints of wood and sweet earth. Good fresh sweet entry on the palate, with flavours of red cherries, floral essences, and mild citrus fruit. Sweet earth note resonates from nose to palate and start to medium finish. Great quality Beaujolais. Could develop over the next 3-4 years.

  • 2009 Nautilus Estate Pinot Noir 93 Points

    New Zealand, South Island, Marlborough

    Tasted blind. Wonderful aromatic nose of sweet scented wood. On the palate, lots of red cherries, cranberries and raspberries. Rounded mouth-feel with some soft supple tannins towards the refreshing medium finish. Fruit-forward and hiding nothing. Lack of complexity made me guess New World Pinot Noir. Really liked the nose of this, hence the points.

Closing

Will be interesting to explore more high quality Beaujolais, and New World Pinots.
