From magnum, this is excellent: plump and plummy, a light fringe of chewy tannins, refreshing acidity on the palate. All you could ask for from a 2011 cru Beaujolais in 2023.

This is zestier and more vital than the 2011 Chermette Trois Roches Moulin opened over the weekend - which was tired, likely past its peak. Still, I would say, drink up while the vitality is there. Need to check on all my other 2011 Beaujolais now, these have matured faster than I'd expected.

This bottle is nicely-evolved relative to the one I opened last May - smoother, less obtrusive tannins, overall suaver. Very pleasant red berry with a bit of stone and refreshing acidity. Less volume than the Trois Roches opened last week, the fruit of which was plummier; less challenging, more rewarding to drink on its own now. Possibly the Moulin's brooding quality implies more potential down the road, or it might pair better with fatty red meat.
Since I stopped eating dinners last year, wine is not so much a part of the food I eat as of the music I listen to, and I am now, alas, ill-equipped to comment on food-wine pairings.

Shows a taste of sweet decay that I have found hard to catch. It is very appealing. Taking variation into account, this particular bottle is teetering on the edge between the full height of its glory and decrepitude. But right now, nothing short of glorious.

In a good spot. No reason not to drink, no sense of urgency.
