  My tasting group reconvened last night after a 9-month hiatus. It was good to be back! This little gem went under the radar. No one guessed Cru Beaujolais! I decided to bring the rest home and retry it under less stressful conditions. The wine is medium ruby colored with slight staining and medium viscosity (13% ABV). On the nose I get medium intensity aromas of black cherry, black raspberry, cola and pepper. The palate is dry with medium (+) acidity, medium tannins and a medium (-) body. It has settled down since last nice, the tannic grip far smoother and less intense. Flavors of dark red fruit coupled with cola, pepper and a granitic minerality coat my mouth ever so. The finish is medium in length and has a slightly sour cherry note, keeping things fresh. A delightful Gamay wine that could drink nicely till 2028. I'm going with 89 points and for $25- 4 stars.

  Dark garnet color. Aromas of earth, tobacco, dried cherries/raspberries, menthol, dried rose petals and violets. The palate is more black fruit driven (black cherry/raspberry/plum) with hints of forest floor and minerals. Touch of Brett and oak on the long and tangy finish. Nicely structured with fine grained tannins. Crisp acidity and medium bodied. The tertiary notes take the lead. Gets better as it opens up.

  Really nice Burgundian Beauj. Fresh red fruit with some black cherry and plenty of minerality. Could easily go another 5+ years.

  Very good. Absorbing aromatics. A saline meatiness on the palate. And yes, always the bright red fruit with lovely, delicate, candy sweetness. I'm buying more of this.
