September 27, 2021 - Dark fruits, like I would expect from Morgon, but then delightful cherry and strawberry flavors emerge. Lots of licorice, stony minerals, iron, black tea, and cocoa powder with just a kiss of violet on the finish. Instead of cayenne pepper, which I sometimes find in Beaujolais, I get a good dose of herbs. Plenty of power for further ageing, but already silky smooth. Exactly what I want from good Beaujolais: it’s so delightful and, even if it doesn’t reach the highest possible eschelon, every sip brings a smile to my face.
At this point, better with about 2 hours of air, but much better on day 1 (as I’m beginning to realize is often the case with Beaujolais). I liked it much better out of Zalto All-purpose glass compared to Zalto Bordeaux, Zalto Burgundy, and Riedel Chianti glasses. Decent match with Lamb soup, good match with marrow spread over bread, and decent match with Iranian Chicken salad (with a mayo dressing).1 person found this helpful 345 views
