August 11, 2023 - Cru Beaujolais (K&L Wine Merchant - Redwood City): Hot (temperature-wise, not alcohol) and damp, slightly musty earth (all in a good way), oak and weeds with a faint note of red berries and subtle gooseberries on the nose. The mustiness blows off with little time and allows the fruits to really flourish.
Palate showed dark and deep cranberry flesh with dark pomegranate juice, mixed with a streak of dark and bitter minerals, and gentle steeped tea and light tree bark on the finish.3 people found this helpful 1,387 views

The 2021, is available at preferred retailers that will ship to most state, so I’ve been drinking those first and restocking as needed. I like Thivin as a nice food friendly cellar defender.
