I didn't realize I still had a 2010 sitting around but this is delicious and a pleasant surprise. Nicely developed secondary characteristics, deep dark cherry on the nose and palate. Very nice.

Nose: Blackberry and strawberry with hints of sour cherry - slight spice in the background.
Taste: Sour cherry & violet.
Overall, its rather light - doesn't linger on the palate: the finish is rather short but sweet.
I find it very good to eat with food and in essence have turned this into a preferable form of a fruitfull table-wine. My score is increased by 3 points due to the ability for this Beaujolais to go well with meals.

enjoyed more than I remember any other Sunier - it was still a light/fuzzy/vegetation/low fruit style, but had nice texture and a nice slight lacticity on the palate and finish

Very pale coloured, almost pink. Very ripe nose of raspberry and strawberry with a fresh but plump palate with a nice tobacco smoke note on the finish.

Pretty nice. Like my previous note comparing it to a Norton, this wine is unafraid of its fruit heritage and is nicely compact and true.

Very nice with strawberry fruits and a yeasty-funky persistence (a Norton-lite.)

The Real Wine Fair 2012 (London): More savoury than the Raisins Sauvages. But still a little linear. OK. 16/20.
