  November 4, 2022 - I was surprised at the heavy weight. Very concentrated and dense. Showed no signs of age 1 year after harvest, which was also surprising to me.

  August 7, 2022 - Had with a frittata, this wine is always fun in a bottle. Pleasurable to drink in a simple way and to let the food paring shine. No sign of advanced age.

  July 25, 2022 - Retail $12. Synthetic stopper. 100% Gamay. I am a complete moron, or at best an utter hypocrite. I have spent most of my wine drinking life professing that Beaujolais Nouveau needs to be consumed in the 5-6 weeks following its release. It is a wine of the harvest, released within a few weeks after the grapes are brought in, traditionally a wine to celebrate the harvest. So by the end of November? Sure. The end of the year? OK. A few scant days before August? Um, well, no. So why? The simple answer is that this got lost in my samples pile (not entirely honest, but close enough). Another factoid: I am an unabashed fan of all things Dubœuf. Nouveau is supposed to be fresh, fruity, uncomplicated. Bingo. And I might just be slightly disappointed about that--since nine months out, this is still all of those things. And more. I might need to adjust my assertion about the need to consume Nouveau quickly.
