  6/13/2014 - campingfleurie Likes this wine: 88 Points

  Starts with the Pear Drops of fermentation and youth, but that quickly blows off or become ignored, because … because of many good qualities. A compact dark florality and bloody tone run into bitter plum skin and a hint of purple cherry. There's a piercing, incipient end to the aromatic: what is it promising?! Excitement! High acid and a little grippy, but with better depth than the Coop's 2013 Beauj-V, and a good silken firmness to the mid-palate. Fair purity. 88-89, 88. Again, it shouts about what top-end growers might do with this vintage. They'll be less aggressive; they should be borderline historic. It'll depend on taste, because it is a high acid and obviously tannic vintage. Along with 2009 (a differently style), this is the most excited I've been about a Beaujolais vintage at this stage in the last 20 years.
