Popped and poured. Fresh medium red. Very forward, floral nose with ripe, crunchy raspberry fruit in the nose. Wild berry all over the shop. Candy-like, ethereal. Palate strikes one with strong, bracing acidity on entry--but not overly aggressive. Very warm, mellow, sweet fruit that flows beautifully over the palate. Quite high-toned, almost an effervescent quality. Not exactly your text book Beaujolais; I'm not sure what to make of it, as it lacks depth/body. Certainly would complement food of the right sort, but I'm not sure it will please Beaujolais purists. 5-12-15-7: 89/100.

First night, after a decant and c.1hr of air, was a little sweet, and mono dimensional. Second night, really elegant, little fruit, but quite pinotised.

Translucent purple. Swaths of red berry, rose petal, black earth, mineral notes. Light and sexy, no tannins, strong acidic backbone. Good fruit, long finish. Great.

Very enjoyable. Just like a bottle consumed last summer. Opened the bottle for about one and a half hours.

Light ruby. You can smell the acid, cranberry, raspberry, rose, pretty and volatile.
High acid, de minimis tannins. Cranberry and racy red fruit. Mineral notes come through in a long berry finish. Thought provoking and fresh.
Drank the same bottle a week ago. One of the most enjoyable I've ever encountered.
