  This was my third of 3 bottles. Fuller-bodied Gamay, with use of oak. Substantial. Good wine.

  Splendid Julienas. Dark, plenty of vital meaty cherry, very reserved chewing gum characteristics, really elegant, plenty of mineral 'sediments' and just a hint of spice. Thanks to the vintage rather mellow. Length was fine. Great QPR!

  Maroon color. Nose is not particularly expressive; most prominent is cooked herbs with a faint "meaty" note (beef roast with rosemary and thyme), mixed with cooked blackberry and cherry notes. Surprisingly full bodied and comes off as being more rustic for a Beaujolais with good acidity and dry tannins, finishing off with faint herbaceous notes.
  
  Surprisingly serious effort for a Beaujolais, and should appeal to old world pinot drinkers. Would pair well with red-meat dishes. Based on other tasting notes, perhaps this was more fruit-forward when it was younger but would not hold any longer as the fruit seems to be on its way out.

  Really nice Beaujolais. Moderate tannins, fuller bodied masculine style. Oak not noticable to me. Would buy again and again...
