  Uninviting nose at first on the burnt tire. It will evolve positively towards cooked fruit.
  
  Mouth with a frank attack with aromas of espresso and coconut. Some tertiary notes. It’s quite a departure from the brightly fruity Beaujolais I’ve been drinking. Sensation of an “ambitious” wine but which fails to convince me with its cooked fruit side. Good cocoa finish.
  
  Question of style... But I think this wine must have been better a few years ago.

  2 btls at dinner. Rather stolid dark fruited Fleurie. Lacking charm but drinkable. I don’t really get the high scores and hype for this producer compared to peers in Beaujolais who find much more energy and complexity.

  This was glorious for a cru Beaujolais
  Dark fruits especially raspberry, coffee and espresso, cocoa grounds, medium tannins
  Showing some tertiary notes
  This is drinking beautifully now, will be even better in 3 years, and will probably peak in 5-6
  Can withstand a decant

  Cocoa, coffee grounds, graphite, fruits very much on the dark fruit end of the spectrum (black plums, black cherry), oak spices, a box of cigars. Some tomato leaf or red pepper notes
  At its peak now. Best to drink now or over the next 4-5 years
  Medium body
  Medium tannins that still have some grip
  Still quite delicate and dare I say feminine
  Outstanding length
