  Great! A little closed at open. Opened up nicely. High toned. Easy drinking. Perf with turkey.

  Showing quite well in its fifth year. Crushed red fruits, velvety florals, and signature granite minerality. A bit of sediment, though not obtrusive. I can see this lasting some time longer, though I don't see it improving in that time. My advice is to drink up.

  Pours a medium, hazy ruby.
  N - raspberry, rosehip, atomized granite, crushed strawberry, allspice, lardo, minced tarragon and basil, ripe citrus.
  P - more red fruits, raspberry, choke cherry, underripe wild strawberry, some nice stem and seed bitterness, Irish breakfast tea, ruby red grapefruit, hot gravel (is that a flavor?), freshly ground cassia, ripe pomegranate, iron filings.
  M+ acid, more grip than your average Beaujo. Pretty clean considering the category, probably a touch of VA that only contributes rather than detracts. Long, mouthwatering finish bolstered by subtle tannins that suggest a long life ahead of it. Would love to revisit in 3-5. Jean-Paul and Charly make some of my all time favorite Cru Beaujolais.

  Very fruity and juicy. Fresh, light, elegant, but with a backbone that keeps it serious. Drink now if you prefer the fruit juice, but will probably evolve into something a bit more complex in a few years.

  Citrus finish. Light nose. Gamey palate
