Just a baby, but the fruit is concentrated and pure with a peppery underbelly that I would guess materializes into the exotic beasts that these wines typically become. Won't touch mine for a long time - thinking 2024-2030.

A simplistic, juicy Beaujolais. Had the dark berry gamay character, but didn't have the nice earthy tones that you get with some of the better cuvees.

I find that it takes these wines a bit of time to open up. The 2006 seems to be drinking well these days, so it was no surprise to me that this was a bit unyielding and tough. I could sense the red fruit and brambly earth underneath the tannins, but it'll take some time for them to emerge. I'd hold for 3-5 years.

A straightforward Burgundy with sappy red fruit tones, nice spices and subtle earth undertones. Feel like a couple years might turn the flavors a bit more exotic but at the present time this is nice pinot noir.
