Very developed and not uninteresting nose - sowing mulch, mushroom, touch of manure, a vestige of dark fruit. Palate is medium bodied, similar flavour profile, though lacking acidity and with a short, drying finish. Past its best.

Wow. I've been slamming down the 2010 and 2011 of late, but this is a step up - those extra years of age have allowed this wine to go deep and serious. Layers of black matter and violets with whispy tannins - so serious, so good. No bubblebum action going on here, this could easily be taken for quite a serious Nuits-St-George.

(Jadot Moulin Aven Chateau St. Jaques) #2; COLOR-dark; NOSE-nice roasted pepper; cranberries; little black licorice reduction sauce; TASTE-nice intensity violets & cranberries; Beaujolais Cru's offer an imaginary blend -- mixing the elegance of Pinot Noir and fruit & explosiveness of a Barossa Shiraz; solid wine; some great tannin structure and some nice back-end cranberry, but is a little hollow on the mid-palate; WS-91; GV89

excellent detail, hints of forest floor and olive dominate a really great black fruited pinot. Wonderful

Wine Education Service - Old Beaujolais (Imperial College): Opaque, moderate age.
Somewhat stinky, vegetal development.
Fruity, ripe black fruit, tannins still obvious, fruity mid palate, very long.
