  It's definitely not my best Beaujolais, but it's definitely the friendliest and fruitiest. A full load of raspberries, strawberries and red currants and the addition of spiciness almost from start to finish in full harmony with the taste. You drink one sip and you already want to drink another one. Extremely addictive wine What else is here? Yes, it's full of minerals, both in terms of smell and taste. This makes the wine light and not overwhelming.
  One word - delicious.
  Drink Beaujolais, it's still affordable.
  Third glass and a lot of mint and earth in the smell!
  ...
  Long fruity finish.

  Disregard my previous comment. I tried again, and this time I could get why others like this wine. Last time I found it a bit flat, but this time I found the length and the depth I was looking for. Tasting is not a science, I guess I was not in good mood last time...

  Kersenrood, met misschien al wat evolutie.
  Trage dikke tranen.
  Intense verleidelijke neus van kersen en frambozen, spat uit het glas. Mineraal. Blauw fruit en zwoele bloemen. Gebrande suiker. Echt heel mooi.
  Sappig en fris, met veel kersenfruit en donkere besjes, framboos en rijpe aardbei. Heel mineraal met fijne tot strakke zuurtjes die het fruitzoet in balans houden. Ragfijne tannines aan het einde. Nagenoeg perfect evenwicht tussen alle elementen. Klein beetje lactisch
  Heerlijk lange afdronk die naar nog eens slok doet verlangen.
  Nog veel reserve, maar nu geweldig mooi.
  (wat een verschil met vorige fles)

  I think this is a bit too young, probably needs 1 or 2 years to settle down.

  I really liked this. Good depth of fruit but what sets it apart is the freshness and acidity. Would probably improve over another year or two at least.
