Rather understated, but with surprising depth and complexity. Very enjoyable, but I don’t see much reason to hold a lot longer.

Great aromas of lavender and licorice jumped out of the bottle as we corked it. Soft flavors of tart cherry and plumbs with a hint of allspice (which was supposing for a Beaujolais). Light in texture with enjoyable and fun ballance f acidic and tannins. Paired with tacos... very fun wine.

About 3.5 years since my last bottle, and this has aged very slowly, if at all. It is still very dark in color, and the palate shows direct and deep black cherry fruit on a resolved palate that is both silky and dry. I brought this to pair with Dungan food at Lagman House in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, with Neil, Bruce, Alex and Noa. Bottle 4 or 4 and delightful with Central Asian Muslim food.

Brown amber brick hue. Fruit is receding and primarily tertiary notes are showing. Cherry, herbes de Provence, ash, and leather. Tannins have integrated, acidity is softening and ended on a medium-light finish.
