Tasted after a 30 minute decant. Pale ruby in colour with amazing rich aromas of earth & blossoms. On the palate, medium bodied tart & juicy red fruit, sour cherry, wild strawberry, very floral, violets, fresh earth, oak is not noticeable, high acidity, low tannins with a long finish to sour cherry & an earthy minerality. This wine falls into the unusual, unexpected & very appreciated category!

Al naso media consistenza di profumi. Un gradevole bouquet di frutti rossi, fiori e note agrumate. Al palato buon equilibrio, fresco. Medio corpo, rotondo e setoso. Interessante sottilezza. Fruttato e molto gustoso, media persistenza. Ottima qualità. Piaciuto.

Great blend of ripe and tart. Ready to drink, with strawberry, some darker fruit, and a touch of mulchy soil. Balanced sweet tannin and an extra kick of acidity. Very nice right now.

Day one this was nice on the nose at first and then got very green and the palate was sour. Much better today.
Very pretty nose when first poured - dark cherry and wild strawberry. Some florals and a very strong Roilette green herbal streak. Very fresh and maybe sharp. Verging on bitter. Palate has loosened up some but still sour. Bright red berries and cherries and lots of green herbal. High high acid and very fresh and crisp. Palate starts with a surge of umami green herbs with hints of red ruits and florals and some stony minerality. Will probably improve with another day or two open.
Right now this is a little disappointing. Not sure if it’s the vintage or if it’s that I’ve mostly been drinking the Tardive for the last few years. Let’s see what day 2 and 3 bring. Nose: 4.5-5/6, Palate: 4.5-5/6, Finish: 4.5/6, Je ne Sais Quoi: 1/2 = 13.5-14.5/20.

From half bottle. A throwback to the past - relatively light on its feet, acid gives freshness, medium length with limited tannins. Great beaujolais, but also simple a good wine. 2021 supposedly not a great vintage, but give me this any day over the recent sunny vintages.
