P&P but took 30 mins to open up. A lot less fruity than previous bottle and a bit shy. Shitake and raspberry. Might be going through a dumb phase. Lots of stuffing still, I'm not sure I'd recognise it as Beaujolais or even gamay but a good wine for sure.

Mon Cherie and anise on the nose. Medium + acidity, high concentration. Lots of cherry fruit, Christmas spice. Long, cherry aftertaste. An excellent wine!

It is night, and in the low 60s in LA. I am outside with this wine, and wow. On the nose: smoke, black cherry, wet stone. On the palate, so pure: black cherry pit, smoke, lovely acidity. Soft, very finely grained tannin rounds out the finish, which leans juicy. So good.

Deep hedgerow fruit, much more fruit than the 2016s, with a shitake mushroom note in the background. Firm body. Both serious and enjoyable. Took to a dinner party and everyone stopped and commented and it was mentioned again when we left. Ageworthy but might be hard to resist drinking now.

Similar to my last note but more blackberry than red fruit, still that shitake note. Quite shy, should've decanted.
