This wine just re-ignited my love for cru beaujolais. For ~$30, this far exceeded my expectations. The nose was fruity yet serious, with classic bojo fruit but also you could tell the burgundian terroir just on the nose. The palate was equally ripe, concentrated, and structured, with a mouthful of black cherries, wild strawberries/raspberries, but then a refreshing midpalate of acid and some notable rougher tannin on the finish. 14.1% abv is 'just' detectable on the finish but its a big enough wine to make it work. I have really been findings some value wines lately but this takes it up a notch. Will be buying more. This has room to improve in the next few years and will easily last another 5.

PNP followed over several hours. No formal notes. Tart red fruit, strawberry, just shy of juicy. Enough structure, approachable now, went well with traditional thanksgiving dinner.

This is consistently good and a fantastic value. You get a complex wine for a value price.

Good. Still quite young and primary.

Terribly corked. My first for a wine this young and also first for a bojo. Sad, it had some good stuffing under there.
