Community Tasting Notes 8

  July 25, 2021 - 5th bottle of 6, last consumed 2.5 yrs ago.
  Crunchy raspberries, tar and espresso grounds, pepper, mint, and wet rocks.
  The tannins are finely grained and gritty, with bright acidity and a soil-and-rock inflected finish.
  This is so pretty, so refreshing, so bright and satisfying. Just a complete wine, and for $17 USD.
  Drink now through 2026+. What a WFTM.

  January 11, 2021 - Interesting showing: a bit less going on aromatically than I expect from a Cru Beaujolais. Appealngly light and bright, it made a great foil for our food but didn't strike me as memorable. Nice enough, but would it best a Brun Ancien or Chermette Beaujolais? Not sure.

  March 30, 2018 - Refreshing, bright red raspberry and cherry fruit, a firm vein of earthiness, and rocky minerality.
  The wine shows energetic acidity, with really tart and grritty tannins that will let this wine age for a decade.
  Drink now through 2026+.

  September 10, 2017 - Popped and poured. Medium ruby color. Mostly cranberry on the nose with some floral and earthy notes. Tart red fruit flavors on the palate with some earthy and mineral driven notes but a bit simple overall. Missing a little of that fresh acidic pop I love in good cru bojo. A very solid wine and good QPR but nothing special.
