  Drinking very well currently. Cranberry and light smoke/barnyard on the nose, as well as some spice - star anise in particular. Really fresh and vibrant palate but with plenty of depth and length. Boiled sweets coming through a little though it’s far from confected. A little tannic chew and plenty of acid. Still room to develop positively given the concentration.

  PnP. I've held these since release and it's been worth the effort. Harmonious, elegant and deeply flavorful. VG acids/structure and an avg+ finish, avg complexity. For my tastes, this is absolutely in the zone just now; should hold at a high level for several more years. recommended

  Cranberry and cherry fruits with earthy- sometimes vegetal and dirty - notes. The fruit opens at times and then comes spice and smoke. Best for enthusiasts of the region.

  Served alongside a traditional Christmas dinner, the freshness and acidity here provided a perfect foil to rich festive fayre. What surprised me was how well this showed after the “main event”. A day or two after opening there is a definite barnyard funk on the nose, supporting a well balanced fruitiness and acidity in the mouth, alongside crunchy tannins that suggest potential for further aging. This wine whispers both high and low, taking a cue from its Burgundian big cousins while remaining sure footedly rooted in its Beaujolais home. A very accomplished wine at this price point.

  It had a breath of northern Rhône before the taste of candied berries contradicted that image. Suave, plush tannins support a tumble of sticky berries and stem tar. Reductive brackishness. Big. Broad. Comfortable. Concentrated. Animated. My last note raised the possibility of scheduling this vintage for ready depletion. Now, I'm thinking: not so fast. It's hardly showing how its parts will fit together yet. We might not know for sure until 2027, or later.
  24 HOURS later: tastes real good.
