  Amazing at price point. Brick red rim. Still plenty of fruit but more like a decent burgundy.

  A difficult vintage in Beaujolais with very cool conditions throughout the summer, reducing the yields under the average. However, the northern Cru regions fared a lot better with the warm and dry autumnal weather letting the grapes ripen fully, although very late.
  
  Luminous dark ruby red color with moderate translucency. A fragrant and slightly developed, but also somewhat understated nose with aromas of dusty cherry, purple and dark berries, some sweeter cherry marmalade notes, a little meatiness and a hint of sappy green notes suggesting stemminess. Dry, quite full-bodied and rather acid-driven on the palate with focused and quite ripe flavors of ripe dark cherry, juicy red fruit, some herbal green notes, a little peppery spice and a hint of supple plummy fruit. Moderately pronounced, firm tannins. The finish is dry and rather taut with pronounced tannic grip, giving the aftertaste a bitter and slightly astringent feel, supported with acid-driven, tart flavors of lingonberries and cranberries with a slightly stemmy note of green wood.
  
  Well, the difficult vintage shows here a little bit. Although there is good sense of ripeness to the fruit, the wine seems to suffer a bit from lack of focus and not altogether pleasant green notes peek through both in the nose and on the palate. Overall this is a very good and enjoyable Cru Beaujolais, but even with some bottle age it does not show that rough-hewn finesse of the best Burgaud reds. Probably will age nicely and develop further with age.

  Light red fruits. Now fading a little. Retains Gamay character.

  Matt red fruits. Solid but no great excitement.

  Lots of acidity, some spice, and slight earthiness, and dark red fruits - but just a bit flat and boring. Enjoyable, but not especially memorable.
