Medium garnet. Medium+ intensity nose - bright red cherry, strawberry, violets, smoke, clove, chocolate, forest floor. Developing. Dry palate, medium+ acidity, medium ripe tanins, medium alcohol, med+ body, ripe fruit, med+ finish. Very good quality, drinking well now, but has sufficient structure and fruit to age and develop further - up to 2025.

I didn't get any of the reductive elements, and it has lasted very well over several days just with the screw cap back on.

Bought this off the back of a 17+ rating by Richard Hemming on JancisRobison.com but quite disappointed .
Drank cool as I drink all lighter reds
Medium ruby with a medium (-) nose of black plum & cherry and some black tea.
In the mouth slightly more pronounced @ medium but flavours similar and limited as the nose plus a little herbaceousness.
Medium acidity, medium (13.5%) alcohol, m (-) body, medium intensity and m-, slightly bitter finish.
Some other reviews suggest letting the wine warm up a little but I feel that defeats the object of Beaujolais

Decanted for a couple of hours. Medium garnet with a little orange on the rim, huge plum, blackberry and black cherry with dill & sage, liquorice and anise. Smoke, cedar and touch of vanilla. Tannins are assertive but ripe, the acidity keeps everything alive and fresh and the finish lasts for ever. A truly stunning, glorious, wine.

Pleasant colour, light gold, slightly greenish, moderate bubbles.
A honey nose with a bit of citrus.
Pleasant, off dry, not remarkable.

Drinking straight from the bottle, this is a very approachable and enjoyable wine. Good value for money, it is a great everyday drinker.

At the darker end of pale ruby with quite a powerful nose of red and black cherries, strawberry, dried rose petals, violets and fresh vegetal, herby notes, from the stems.
In the mouth a slight petillance, the rose petals are more pronounced then there’s sour red cherry, just under ripe black cherry, blackberry, black tea, liquorice and a fresh, slightly resinous, herbal, steminess, a little vanilla and a touch of earth. Tannins have a ripe grippiness, there’s mouthwatering acidity and a nice slight bitterness on the finish. Really lovely

What a wonderful surprise. Important drink it at 11 degrees ans let it breathe for 45 minutes. Stuffy brioche nose with Almonds. Light bubbles with excellent acidity. Lots of white fruit and an elegant finish. Bravo. Visit realtasting.com for mor information
