March 10, 2023 - Much like my experience last year. Good, serious wine, Beaujolais in the stern rendition. Although I generally like highly acidic wines, this one is a bit much for me, for some reason. No doubt a fork and knife wine and would show better with a red-mean entree. Trades mostly on the textural contrast between the palate-cleansing acidity and the drying, rubby tannins, so that fruit-derived flavors only show in the nooks and crannies, although the acidity does create an impression of juciness by stimulating the saliva glands. These were $22 on release, and the objective quality of the wine is very good at that price.

November 24, 2022 - Opened 11/22 and consumed over three days and agree generally with Mikered's notes. Previous bottles I've opened have featured overwhelming, burly tannins that seemed to bury every other characteristic. The tannins are still robust, contributing to the appealing acid intensity of this wine, but they are now reasonably well-proportioned, relative to the other features. On the first day, the wine seemed almost thin and dilute under the tannins, but the flavors described by Mikered grew steadily in scope with air time. My last glass called to mind a decent Medoc (with a little more body than usual) more than a typical Beaujolai. Gamay: such an interesting grape, it turns out, and so versatile.

November 23, 2022 - Strawberries, black cherries and cranberries crushed together with beef jerky followed by worn leather, dusty flint, cinnamon, and chestnut in the nose.
In the mouth dried strawberry, cranberry, summer herbs, and wet cement with licorice and fruit herbal tea. Medium body, great acid and ripe soft tannin with a long spicy, tangy finish.
Very nice wine drinking great right now, drinking much younger then his Corcelette from the same vintage I opened a week ago. -
