Community Tasting Note

  • Eudemis Likes this wine:

    January 30, 2023 - 13% alcohol. Short cork completely free of defect (to the point of suggesting that it is synthetic, but no it is natural cork of very high quality). Light translucent cranberry juice colour.
    Reduced nose from the neck of the bottle, but this dissipates quickly after pouring; pure redcurrant aromas after that, very enticing. The mouth is similarly red fruited and endowed with considerable acidity bordering on sharpness.
    I am probably less enthused by this wine than I used to be, as there is no denying its one-dimensional aspect; can't complain though, it is only a Beaujolais Villages after all and the fruit is very pure.
    Probably a wine to buy in riper vintages unless you are after high acidity.
