Beautiful high pitched complex nose with cranberry, orange peel, and a good dose of both floral and earthiness. Elegant, light mouthfeel. Long, long finish with plenty of green tea tannins, plus some darker notes in the background and abundant acidity. Outstanding!

Hmm, this was a bit thin, acidic, funky and had that gamay bitterness I get some times from the grape. Probably a less than stellar bottle, despite being kept in regulated climate since purchase.

July 4 Weekend Wines with Buds (Washington, DC): Best showing yet. Such cool savory tones on the nose (leather, soy, animal hide, pepper, grilled herbs, violet petals) but there's still fresh red fruit, and the combination is inviting and interesting. Spicy and fresh on the palate with integrated tannins and lively acidity, and the raspberry and strawberry fruit have aged nicely. Loving the crunchy, dusty feel, and the complexities of tar, violets, pepper, leather and earth. Wish I had more.

Don't love the genre, but this wine delivers as an elegant and not overtly natural Gamay with more purity and florals than funk. Holding nicely and suspect this has 5-10 years

Lovely, classic Foillard nose. Great acidity with crushed cherries, red berries, and pomegranate. Nice finish. Amazing Beaujolais!
