  Popped and poured. Medium ruby colour. Red and dark fruit, forest notes, coffee, tobacco, spices, liquorice, tea, and slate like minerality, with great acidity, well-integrated tannin, and great persistence. Well-balanced. Creamy and smoothly textured after some aeration, in particular from day two. A very good Beaujolais. On day one I thought I liked it even better in its youth, for its vibrancy and freshness, but the good integration and smoothness made up for it from day two. Very good value.

  Translucent medium ruby. Floral notes, violets, red and dark berry fruit which became redder and redder with time, yoghurt, a hint of coffee, forest notes, spices and liquorice, with great acidity, well-integrated tannin and very good persistence. Mineral, red fruit- and Asian spice-driven finish. Vibrant, balanced and very fresh. A lovely Beaujolais! Very good value. Great weekday wine. Serve slightly chilled.

  Good weeknight Beaujolais. Pretty aromas of rose petals and mocha. It's light bodied with tart fruit flavors - cranraspberry and blood orange with lean salty minerals and green stemmy notes.

  Very enjoyable. Delicious berries, a little tart. This wine is best served at cellar temperature or a little cooler - though not cold. But not at room temp, IMO. It's a refreshing wine that isn't demanding a lot of introspection. These are the wines I'm in the mood for right now: natural wines from the Beaujolais. Maybe because it's summer. Not taking it lightly though: This one has a lot of integrity. It's not factory-made. I appreciate the work that went into making it.
