I had been drinking through these because I see little upside, yet perhaps I should bury my remaining bottles for a few years and see what happens, because they bring little pleasure now unless you prize large scale in a wine. For me this utterly lacks in all qualities which make Beaujolais great. It's not fresh or vibrant or refreshing. 2018 is only a slight step above 2015, which was just terrible. Global warming is not kind to this region, though perhaps it will eventually lead to more development in the historically cooler crus.
