  July 17, 2014 - Opened and poured a little at a time into pinot glasses. Wine expressed itself better after 30-45 minutes. Aromas of cocoa powder, fig, apricot, sweet tobacco, dried rose petals and a bit of new glove leather. Tart fruits on the attack ~ cherry, cranberry, choke cherry with long lasting deeper black cherry/black tea finish. Acidic profile pushes this into food wine territory, but fans of modestly good burgundy may enjoy this alone in cool weather. Fairly high pitched wine... could use a shade more richness for broader appeal. Tannins & acid seem to steal the show, with surprisingly long black cherry/tea finish becoming translucent and a bit overpowered. This is an acquired taste... and better with a good sandwich.

  October 5, 2013 - Farge: Sviskesupperød (rød mot brunlig).
  Duft: Ganske Beaujolaistypiske røde frukter og tyggisaromaer, men dypere rødfrukt enn vanlig; mørke moreller.
  Fruktig, fin syre, fortsatt med markerte tanniner som avrunder smakskurven med en tydelig, men fin tørrhet. Middels fylde, ganske konsentrert og alt i alt ganske saftig. Lang ettersmak.
  Muligens ikke en typisk Beaujolais, men en god og interessant matvin, som på grunn av fylden og kraften takler mer og noe tyngre mat enn de fleste Beaujolaiser. Den vil også fint tåle 2-3 år til på langs uten problemer.

  November 24, 2010 - Showing brilliantly - no longer overtly fruity, and more intriguing than gamay normally is, beautiful, vibrant, perfectly proportioned
