Pale, red cherry with serious brick, but not dead. Nose same, fragrant, mild, with forest floor, light cherry strawberry fruit. Light strawberry and red cherry fruit on the palate, decent long finish. Overall, a very interesting mature beaujolais. At end of life, but a very interesting wine for a Tuesday.

I think the last bottle was a fluke, because the long, chewy, finish is back, and the whole package seems more relaxed, fruitier, and rounder. Very Good+.

Interestingly, I lost this in the cellar for many several more years than intended. Still somewhat rustic, lovely intense flowers and cranberry, though with a sadly short finish. Going strong, not browning at all that I can see. Very Good.

A subtle nose of dust and cherries. Medium red in the glass, no real evidence of age. Light, understated minerality and cherryberry on the palate, nicely balanced, with just enough lingering acidity to keep things interesting. Based on other notes, I think this one's on the downward slope. Drink up.
