Needs a decent decant to start showing, i did 2 hours whoch was enough but couod do longer. Red fruit delivery of cherry, raspberry, strawberry, bit of cedar, liquorice, slight provincial herb, medium+ finish. Needs more time ideally, probably be good with 10 years on it but its a delicious juicy red now, just needs that decant, pretty austere without the air.

A bit of a more serious beaujolais with some roast chicken tonight, moulin-a-vent is one of the gamays that will take a bit of age, good quality cork. High acid, needed a 1.5 hour resting before serving (in the bottle), bouquet of red fruit, can smell the oak, bit of earthyness to it. Went down very smooth, cherry at first followed by the oak - vanilla, tobacco and then the earthyness comes in with some leathery, mushroomy flavours. Pretty light bodied and a bit thin, tasted older than its 8 years, nice solid not fruit forward gamay.
