  Unlike a too-advanced 2011 a few weeks ago, this one was just right, having that nice combination of burnished complexity but still with good remaining fruit and presence. These were set aside as a successful experiment on how long to age good Beaujolais, with 10 years from the vintage being the result for me.

  Wow! Mélange of strawberry, cranberry jelly, cherry, bubblegum and wood spice. Fresh and lively despite its age. Everything a good cru Beaujolais should be.

  Decanted for about an hour. Drank in a Zalto denk'art Burgundy glass Very dark purple with little opacity. Nose was not super aromatic, but still had a burnt wood, dried herbs along with a bit of balsamic and spice. Very faint forest red berries too.
  
  The wine tasted of very fresh red cherries, wild strawberries, red plum and pomegranate fruit with minerals and earth mixing into the palate experience. Lots of acidity makes the wine feel fresh and younger than its 9 years of age. Finish is more red fruit and earth, quite dry, lingering cleanly on the tongue.
  
  Best comment of the night came from another drinker who said "I thought Beaujolais doesn't age". Yes, some do, and this wine still has lots of life left and I can see drinking well for another 5-10 years as there is no signs of fading. Drink now - 2034. Cheers.

  From memory. Stood up for several weeks and decanted off fine sediment for 1h then back into bottle. After the 1h decant, the wine was fairly tart with more cranberry and pomegranate flavors. Took about another 2h for the wine to settle down. Lovely red cherry fruit w a bit of bubblegum, herbs, bark. Excellent acids. Light+ body which gives the wine a really nice elegant texture. Drinking well after a healthy exposure to air and I liked this quite a bit. But given how long this took to open up, I think it needs more time. Open next bottle in 2-3 years at age 10 or more. 92+
