  This is very fine. There is beautiful pure crunchy bojo fruit, but also a burgundian silky texture that gives this wine a unique delicacy. It is drinking perfectly at the moment. While I drank with french onion soup and other random Friday night nibbles, this could easily be the centerpiece of something special (eg roast chicken or king salmon)

  Chez W, splash decanted, perfect cork and level, dense and youthful, energetic generous bramble fruit as well described in previous note here, not particularly nuanced for Burg but very nuanced for Beauj, lush and involving, possible upside, 10+ years. F+ (18).

  Brilliant! About as good as Beaujolais gets. Served blind in Thierry’s office to knowledgeable friends who all picked this wine as quality red Burgundy. A top Beaujolais from Thibault from 100+ year old pre-Phylloxera vines. Rauno picked the wine as Beaujolais on bouquet but thought it was pinot noir on palate. A complex, interesting nose. Blackberries, meat juices, black tea, sous bois, dry earth, dark chocolate and spices. Good body and structure at 10 years of age. Now fully mature but it’s a 40 year wine, I’m sure. Bright 2011 acids. Well balanced and in good proportion. Moderate alcohol (13% ABV). Quite savoury and earthy on palate. Complex and nuanced.

  Popped and poured. Nice nose of black cherries and a little smoke. The palate shows good concentration and healthy acidity. This is a serious Beaujolais which I think will continue to age nicely and probably will improve further. Flavors of black cherry, grilled meats and olives come through in a delicious medium bodied wine.

  Complex and with a forest floor thing going on, drink up and enjoy the geek factor.
