Grape bubblegum, blackcurrant pastilles, and mint. Loads of fresh earth and a fair bit of dried mushroom. Surprising amount of acidity. It started to fade about 3 hours in getting more earthy as time went on but still smelling of crushed blackcurrants. Lovely wine.

Just a gorgeous, lithe, fresh gamay that still seemed to retain the vibrant fruit of its youth, but seemed to have secondary and tertiary tones of earth, roses, and cherries that weren't there years ago. I liked this very much.

(Domaine de Vissoux Fleurie "Poncie") It was hot. There was alot to like. Don't get me wrong. Silky blue cooling fruit. Very ripe. Wonderful juicy tannins but the heat never went away. Even after three days. I have actually not enjoyed many Fleuries from the 2005 vintage. Was not nuts about J.P.(Terres Dorees) Bruns or Chignard. What is interesting is that in 2004 I was nuts over the Chignard and Brun Fleurie. I think heat is what kills it for me in most wines I don't like that are not spoofulated. I am very sensitive to it. That's why I do not like port....and to a larger extent hard liquor.

terrific bojo. Opened on Mothers' Day for Bonnie, who loves beaujolais, and it did not disappoint. She loves it. Violets, dark cherry. Beautiful.
