OK. Very pleasant bouquet of cherries. However, the taste is tart and the finish is downright bitter. I'm thinking this is a bad bottle because it's usually a reliable label (or is this characteristic of their "old vine" which I've not had before?)

Aromas of raspberry, tart cherries and violets with a slightly herbal aspect and a touch of minerality. Light bodied and juicy and bright with good acidity. Good quaffing wine for late night New Year's Eve drinking. Likely at least partial carbonic maceration. A crowd pleaser at a very good price.

Easily the worst 2009 Beaujolais I've had to date. Thin, tart and lacking in complexity. More like a noveau.
The good news: it's still pretty drinkable, and seeing as how this was a gift, I'll enjoy it without any further critique.

My last bottle of this and showed much the same as the last experience. Nice for simple everyday quaffing.

Similar notes to last bottle drank in January, but perhaps showing more minerality on the nose and on the finish.
