Community Tasting Notes 8

  February 7, 2020 - Wonderful stuff! After finishing my various 20 year old Cru-Beaujolais I decided to begin opening up the next generation - my 10+ year olds. This Saint-Amour was drinking spot on. Still bright and supple enough to be youthful but with the kind of depth and nuance that comes from a few more years of bottle age. Maybe its just me, but I have been very lucky/successful in storing and ageing various Cru Beaujolais and I encourage everyone I know with a decent cellar to give it a try.

  March 19, 2018 - This is my second bottle (first in 2014) that, while not flawed in any discernable way, hardly showed a thing. Finally on day three a bit of red cherry poked its head through. The structural notes seem to be integrating. I'll try my last bottle in a few more years hoping for the best.

  December 15, 2014 - Quite austere - perhaps shut down - but I prefer a bit more fruit and verve in my bojos.

  June 1, 2014 - lively dark fruits, good acidity, but there is some meat with this one. more interesting than your standard Beaujolais.

  January 3, 2014 - very light and fruity. Mouth feel is soft and the acid makes it mouth watering. Great with pork or poultry. long finish.
