Needs to be decanted prior to use. Nose, black berry like fruit with hint of aromatics. Taste, VA, bright and edgy up front, black cherry soda finish. Medium weight in the mouth. This was probably better 5 years ago but fruit is fading now.

Interesting to have an aged beaujolais. this has done well, showing less bright fruit, showing more dried flowers at this point and could be mistaken for a barbaresco

Aged in cool cellar for 8 years. Very dark garnet w/superb, dark ripe fruit nose and "les belles jambes." Attack was mouth watering w/fresh, tangy dark berry flavors. Medium bodied with a lingering length that kept us going for more. Bottle gone by end of meal which is unusual for wife and me. Best MaV to date from this vintage -- Girardin worked some magic w/gamay.

Much better than last showing a couple yrs ago. More in balance. Tannins more integrated. Pleasent wine.
