Beaucoup de Beaujolais (Monarch Restaurant, Hotel Deco, Omaha, Nebraska): Popped and poured; no formal notes. The 1998 Jadot Beaujolais-Villages pours a deep, slightly hazy garnet color. Medium viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. Dark desiccated, bramble fruits with leather and forest floor. Tenants have all the integrated. Acid is medium. A fully mature Beaujolais, that is very much alive and well, despite its humble designation. If this isn’t proof that Beaujolais has the ability to age gracefully, I don’t know how to convince someone. Drink now or over the next five years.

Surprisingly still holding up with pleasant tertiary notes in the nose and palate but let down my simple short finish.

Very smooth with a clean finish. Light on the nose and with a lot of fruit.
