Community Tasting Notes 5

  • WineTally Likes this wine:

    January 5, 2017 - A(ccuracy)=2: Medium ruby with orange tint; firm, focused Gamay nose.
    B(alance) =3: At peak of resolution; perhaps at the expense of some vibrancy.
    C(omplexity)=1: Straightforward and unpretentious.
    D(epth) = 1 : Even and smooth, with just a touch of appetizingly tart finish.

    WineTally Score [2,3,1,1]=7/10

    December 1, 2014 - Moderately translucent and rather pale cherry red color. Somewhat restrained, light and a bit earthy nose with aromas of ripe cherries, some raspberry-driven sweet red fruits, a little bit of wild strawberry and a subtle hint of funk. The wine is medium-bodied, dry and very acid-driven on the palate with flavors of tart cranberries, sour cherry bitterness, some savory spice, a little bit of sweeter ripe fruit tones and a hint of earthiness. The wine feels balanced with its light and gently grippy tannins and high acidity. The finish is quite long, pretty acid-driven and crunchy with pure flavors of tart cranberries, stony minerality, some herbal bitterness and a hint of sour cherries.

    A nice, a bit one-dimensional but also quite classic Bojo with enjoyable crunchy fruit. Not really a Gamay to remember, but works tremendously well as a straightforward everyday food wine. Might hold for some years because of the high acidity, but I doubt there is much room for further development in the fruit, so I really see no point in keeping this any longer. Good value at 13,98€.

    October 1, 2014 - Un bon Beaujolais bien typé sur des notes de fruits des champs, de fleur et une minéralité rafraîchissante. À près de 20$ pour un simple "village" ce n'est pas donné, mais c'est bien fait et ça a toute la buvabilité gouleyante qu'on attend de ce type de vin.
    Prêt à boire dès maintenant.

    April 27, 2014 - Refreshing typical Beaujolais - fruity with body.

    April 9, 2014 - Bouchard Pere Tasting (Ultimo wines basement room): mild black cherry, slight candy floss, , clean but with tiny sulphur notes. In the mouth the wine has medium plus aid, is juicy with back and red cherry fruit, cheek gripping tannin. Nice and eminently quaffable
