Blind tasting. Brief note.Quite backwards and structured upfront with grainy tannins and racy acidity. Nose isn't giving up much right now with the palate showing blackberry, black cherry, medicinal red cherry/robitussin, purple florals and granite. Midpalate is a bit thin and watery considering the structure. Finish is medium (-) and overwhelmed by the tannins for now.

tasted blind. reportedly kept in a car trunk for several days in airport parking -- may have accelerated some of its development. Dark violet/cloudy color. Nose juicy, candied, grapey. Palate candied grapes, light honey. Guessed beaujolais, still drinking well but perhaps could have had more acidity/depth. 91 pts

Cru Beaujolais Tasting - Exploring all the Crus (New York, NY): #17 of 21 wines tasted. The first of 3 Cote de Brouillys. This one seemed to be past its prime with very little fruit left, not too lively or much going on here - suspect this was not meant to age more than 5 years. The group voted 0 pennies for this wine.

Parfait fin de soif, sur les fruits rouges frais (cerise, framboise, fraise) avec une touche d'épices douces (cannelle, muscade ?) tant au nez qu'en bouche. On a également cette impression de minéralité qui ajoute à sa fraicheur. Au niveau du toucher, une belle matière, avec des tanins fondus, rendu à ce stade. Très bien!

En bouche, assez agréable, avec saveurs de fruits juteux, sans perdre sa finesse et sa fraîcheur. Le caractère minéral et une belle impression d'harmonie et de charme.

Très typé Gamay au nez avec à la fois ce côté fraises des champs et cet aspect légèrement métallique qui bizarrement évoque pour moi l'odeur d'une voiture neuve. Ça doit être cette fameuse "minéralité" si difficile à définir qui donne cet arôme. La bouche est fort agréable sans tanins perceptibles et avec un profil acidulé de cerises surettes. Finale sur le sucre d'orge et la cannelle. Un vin simple sans être insignifiant. Tout simplement bon et bien fait. J'ai beaucoup aimé.
Je ne vois pas d'intérêt à le laisser vieillir. À boire en jeunesse, légèrement rafraîchi. Avec des plats simples. Pourquoi pas un bon hamburger sur le BBQ?

garnet with pink fringe; cooked red cherries on the nose, very light spearmint; vibrant ripe red fruit -- raspberries and cranberries; lively acid, good length, with gorgeous, pure, gamay fruit.

Although I often love these wines, this one is overdone for me. I love the Fleurie 10 and most of all I love the Morgon 9. This one just isnt singing the same song. Maybe over time this will mellow out but compared to the Morgon 9 this seems all fruit, and very ripe fruit at that, where the Morgon 9 is all anger and frustration and I like it. I like it a lot. I don't think I will put any of this in the cellar but would drink it if I werent paying...
Weekly tasting group #048; Beaujolais (@ CvR): In the bouquet vegetal and green herbs impressions as well as some licorice. Juicy start with cherries and raspberries, some bitterness and drying tannin. Also some white pepper. Firm acidity. Medium length.

Very expressive bouquet with smoke and a lot of minerality. Same on the palate. Really concentrated wine with a bit granular tannin and a touch of sweetness. This is in a positive way a really interesting Beaujolais, but hard to recognize as such. Good and complex wine with definitely a future of at least 5+ years.

Pas de notes détaillées. De corps mince à ample, superbe équilibre sur trame coulante, belle acidité rafraîchissante, fruité devant, projection d'intensité 4/10, invitant, persistance moyenne (au mieux). À revisiter.

Refreshingly intense raspberry fruit nose with some darker tones and herbs. Light to medium bodied and pretty refreshing palate showing some grip. Fine minerality, some spice and good purity of fruit - despite the ripeness. Intense and pretty serious. Would like to revisit after some years.

Ruby-pink; raspberries, maraschino cherries, violets; raspberry/cherry, light-medium body, citrusy acidity, astringent tannins, nice finish.
Vibrant colour with floral notes and predominant raspberry flavour. Slightly offputting astringency however.
