am stumped. Have one more bottle and magnum of this vintage, which we all love.
This was purchased on winebid. Completely bonkers experience. Thin, tart, not fleshed out. Double decanted in the morning for early pm enjoyment. Right off the bat, while drinking coffee still, I noticed a nose akin to the smell of putty that we played with as kids. Smelled like chemical mixed with clay. Never came around. Not last night, not today. It's a bottle of Beaujo... who gonna knock that off?
Has to be just an off bottle. Dont know what to attribute any of it it too. No sign of va. not corked. cork was in fine shape but wished I had kept it.

Väl mycket tannin och alkohol i början, för mycket fat och körsbär för min smak. Hade hoppats på mer jordiga toner. Efter ett par timmar mer balanserat med stål och grafit i smaken. Öppnade samma dag som den kom fram så eventuellt var flaskan lite chockad.

PnP so might develop. Opened for bbq outside. Good for that. Moving into village burgh territory. Looks to me out of dumb phase, but apparently still has ways to go. Interesting and for the price of 15 e, really good

Wine seems a bit tired, still has a bit of structure but it lacked a bit of fruit density to go with it. It is nice in a refined and mature style but not a wine that you drink fast and makes you go pop the second bottle.
Rustic, structured, could pass for a Beaune villages wine blind - doesn’t have any high tones or glou glou Beaujolais notes. Decent but not especially memorable. When I bought this on release I was unaware this winemaker has higher cuvees and in the future I’d rather pay more to get something more interesting. For what it costs though, this wine overdelivers.
