This bottle was *much* better than my last one. I no longer hate it. Dark fruit notes, with a slight richness to it. Alcohol is much better integrated. Still very slushy flavors and not much complexity, but for $18 or so it’s fine.

A dark, deep red, although a little dull in the glass. Notes of berry compote, balsamic, are lifted by hints of florals and rose water. A bright, slightly sweet palette followed by some good acidity to make this a fruit friendly wine, loads of cassis, cranberry, touch of pink peppercorn in the finish. Very drinkable.

My second of four bottles, and a year after my previous one. Flavors are now well integrated, although fruit is still very restrained. Dark, a bit earthy, with some peppery spice notes. One of 3 Beaujolais opened tonight (including another Piron), and my least favorite.

Yeesh, what was I thinking. Fruit is largely gone, leaving alcohol bite and something bitter.

I'd say fully mature, integrated. Lovely fruit and good acid. Held up to beef roast very well.
