  Dense, brooding, still lots of tannins, very good aromatics though with forest floor, farmyard. Complex, like a Morey Pinot. I liked this a lot. Best after 2028

  A bit clumsy at this point, somewhat better on day 2.

  Slow O'd for an hour. Outstanding Beaujolais; soft, supple, and delicious. Paired with grilled salmon and roasted potatoes.

  Excellent
  
  Note from memory from a couple of nights ago.
  
  From magnum. Not unhappy to have a few more of these in the cellar. Though it expanded a bit with air, I loved it on PnP. Enough character and nose to keep you coming back for more drinking on its own, but also a nice wine for the meal (lentil dish with roasted tomato, some gorgonzola, herbs).
  
  Complex wine maybe showing some slight reduction. Complex nose and body left me struggling to elevate specific elements. There are floral components, cool spices, some crushed herbs, cherry and berries and even some pine forest. Whatever it is, there is real depth here but it floats and had a mineral inflected finish.
  
  Note: I read that this wine is atypical of Fleurie, which has soils that are usually granitic, in that the soil here is largely a manganese-rich clay much like Moulin-à-Vent. The original owner about 100 years ago protested against inclusion in Fleurie, thinking the property should have been in Moulin-à-Vent.
  
  13% abv
