  Aged Cru Beaujolais (San Francisco): Deep ruby. Definite barnyard here. Medium weight, excellent mix of blackberry and soil with excellent acidity. Leaner than the Javernières, cleaner than it smells, again very structured and quite saline. Would be outstanding were it not for the heavy brett.

  Consistent with previous note; simply amazing wine. Unbelievable freshness to the fruit and such purity. Thirteen years old and like drinking freshly squeesed fruit with amazing complexity brought by mother earth.
  
  If you tried and loved wine from etna, try this and be surprised by the “vulcanic” minerality and depth in this top wine from underappreciated cru beaujolais.
  
  No hurry at all, no Signes of aging except added complexity.

  Deep ruby core with watery extreme rim. Aromatically, it leads with some funk, but this never becomes overwhelming. Medium body with a little sappiness. Riper than usual for Gamay but still very lively and not ponderous at all. Terrific mixture of blackberry and dark cherry fruit, a lot of stone, and a blood orange high note. Maturing but plenty of time in hand-you can throw out the suggested drinking window which ended in 2019.

  Powerful, but essentially elegant aromatic Beaujolais with earth, plum and red fruit notes all combined in a mid weight crunchy wine. Lovely and still will happily go another 5-10 years. Very impressive.

  2009 & 2011 Side By Side over two days
  2011 - Nice racy acidity, more herbal notes but still nice coffee and chocolate as well. A pleasant suprise but I would drink now.
  2009 - Similar flavors but more body, structure and grip with a more pronounced nose. Seemed younger that the 2011 and still has life and potential for development.
