Community Tasting Note

• kitkat4 Likes this wine: 86 points

  June 4, 2021 - My previous experiences with Beaujolais weren't very good, although the stuff I tried earlier was nouveau. I received an email extoling the aging virtues of Beaujolais, which spiked my interest and I decided to give it another go.
  
  Day 1: Too much bright red fruit for my taste, preferring something more rich. The tannins are not very well integrated into the wine. Seems I am tasting the wine and the feel of the tannins as two distinct things. Ready to give up on Beaujolais again....
  
  Day 2: A surprise. The bright fruit notes had settled down giving the wine a richer feel. The tannins are still quite noticeable, but seem nicely integrated.
  
  I think this wine would do best with some more age on it. I will likely purchase another bottle or two and forget about them for some time.
