  Tasted Blind
  
  Pale ruby with a purple highlight on the rim
  Medium (+) nose of violets, black plum, red cherries, cranberries, clove, liquorice, leather, soil
  Dry, medium (+) acidity, medium alcohol, medium (+) body, medium (+) intensity and finish. Medium (+) tannin on the gums
  Very good quality wine. Better examples would have longer finish and perhaps more intensity.
  
  Suitable for ageing as already showing tertiary flavors and has sufficient acidity to keep fresh whilst developing further
  
  guess: Cru Beaujolais as juicy, lots of red fruit, fairly tame tannins
  
  Mistakes:
  Would expect a little more steminess and fine grained medium tannins with Beaujolais crus. Was talked into looking for signs of carbonic maceration which I rarely find in the Cru Beaujolais these days. Convinced myself that there was potting soil where there wasn't. It was fruit driven (so new world).

  Nice youthful Pinot fruit. Good on first pour, mellows out a bit. Fresh and ripe. Nice wine.
