After a number of years when this wine was dumb and quite simple, it has now blossomed into a wonderful rendition of a lifted, spicy and complex bojo. Mid weight with lovely red fruits and a spicy after taste, that lovely fresh crunchy refreshing acidity and good length makes this a superb wine drinking just about perfectly. Well done.

Wow, this is what you get when producer and vintage really come together.
The first things you smell are black currant, plum, black cherry and blood orange pulp, then fresh herbs, lilac, licorice, freshly turned garden earth and a hint of soy and wheat chaff. In the mouth add silky blackberry, cranberry, cola, strong black tea and sweet lime peel. Rich without being heavy, great length, lip smacking acid gives it great energy and freshness.
This was a great bottle at or near it's peak.

Un Fleurie toujours aussi satisfaisant, avec une acidité en parfaite place, le tout bien fondu, tout en gardant la fraicheur du fruit. Très bon. Dommage que les prix ne cessent d'augmenter dans le Beaujolais et la Bourgogne...

Opened with little fruit but blossomed over some 8 hours to a lovely strawberry Fleurie. Drinking beautifully.

Soft, full flavoured, long. Beautiful with duck dish. Drinking well now. No rush to drink the remaining bottle.
