After checking, this is the third corked bottle that I encounter in Beaujolais (the other two were from Desvignes and Lapallu). Three out of 138 is not a good record, well over twice my overall average which stands to date at 15 corked bottles out of 1438 recorded tastings, so a little over 1%; always annoying but far less widespread than what some people think.

No notable change from 15 months ago when I last opened a bottle. Nice Burgundian/Foillard, earthy, spicy, savory pungency, with darkish fruit and flowers. Good acidity. Light on tannins. Good stuff, quite enjoyable.

Corked, and not a half dose either.

Benefitted from an hour in a decanter. Really tasty - dark fruits on the nose, medium plus acid. Well balanced. Good QPR.

Super aromatic, lifted, lovely. Lacks a touch of stuffing on the mid palate, quite acid driven, but a lovely bottle nonetheless
