Community Tasting Notes 21

    May 23, 2023 - Popped and poured. Fresh medium red. Very forward, floral nose with ripe, crunchy raspberry fruit in the nose. Wild berry all over the shop. Candy-like, ethereal. Palate strikes one with strong, bracing acidity on entry--but not overly aggressive. Very warm, mellow, sweet fruit that flows beautifully over the palate. Quite high-toned, almost an effervescent quality. Not exactly your text book Beaujolais; I'm not sure what to make of it, as it lacks depth/body. Certainly would complement food of the right sort, but I'm not sure it will please Beaujolais purists. 5-12-15-7: 89/100.

    May 28, 2022 - First night, after a decant and c.1hr of air, was a little sweet, and mono dimensional. Second night, really elegant, little fruit, but quite pinotised.

    March 18, 2022 - Very enjoyable. Just like a bottle consumed last summer. Opened the bottle for about one and a half hours.

    October 30, 2021 - Light ruby. You can smell the acid, cranberry, raspberry, rose, pretty and volatile.

    High acid, de minimis tannins. Cranberry and racy red fruit. Mineral notes come through in a long berry finish. Thought provoking and fresh.

    Drank the same bottle a week ago. One of the most enjoyable I've ever encountered.

    October 23, 2021 - Translucent purple. Swaths of red berry, rose petal, black earth, mineral notes. Light and sexy, no tannins, strong acidic backbone. Good fruit, long finish. Great.
