Theme was Poor Man’s Burgundy (Burgundy under $40, and included Beaujolais), blind. This was the only Beaujolais of the night, and one taster nailed it. The others did not. This is our fourth of six bottles, and as good as it is drinking, it could use more time. It was quite dark in color, no one got the age. WineAccess, where I got the wine, says some Burgundy producers are beginning to acquire property in the Cote du Py, and if true, looks like a good decision. This was really good. Good enough that the group might actually consider a heretofore unprecedented Beaujolais tasting.
Day 2 (actually 3, it sat all day yesterday, with a pumped stopper): even better, smoother. Floral nose. Up at least a point. Lots of dark fruit, good structure.

A very, very nice wine. Dark color. Lots of cherry and berry aromas and flavors. A touch of pepper as well. Moderately long finish.
