Decanted two hours. Intense Black currant on the nose. Dark fruit and spice on the palate. Still somewhat tannic. Only starting to develop tertiary flavors. Drank over the course of a few hours, it kept getting better and better leading me to believe this will be at its best in another 10-20 years.

This wine shocked me. Either it was really, really good or I really, really needed a drink tonight. Heaviest mouthfeel on a Beaujolais that I can ever remember. Tons of fruit with classic gamay/Beaujolais characteristics on the palate. It's been a while since I've wanted to go buy a case of wine at a price point this low.

Gorgeous nose of lavender, animal fur and raspberry candy. Iron, blood and rich dark fruit on the palate. Thin mouthfeel, mouth drying tannins, plenty of acid. Medium-long finish with some pretty cool northern Rhone flavors on the backend. I'm really digging this tonight with braised short ribs and homemade noodles.
