Monday, April 13, 2015 - I don't often post a second TN on a single wine, but this one offers so much exquisite pleasure I couldn't resist. Easily among my very favorite Beaujolais crus of the '09 vintage, each bottle displayed that barest whiff of VA, that absolutely perfect dollop of volatility that lifts the perfumes and flavors into something utterly ethereal and totally captivating. As before, a glorious bouquet of violets and dark fruit waft from the glass all the way across the table upon the first pour, so deep and heady with wild blackberries, licorice, and immense florality. The mouthfeel is lavish and rich, yet utterly fresh and lifted, more linear than round, its granitic terroir totally on display, and that perfected Platonic ideal of volatility supporting a sweet bouquet of inner mouth perfume. Swooon. Swoooooooonnnnnn! Long, juicy, immensely satisfying, and totally my huckleberry.
