Poon's Supper Club: Some leftovers from a couple of days ago. Was quite green and light on the first day but put on weight to become more well-balanced today. Ripe and a little candied on the nose without being too distracting. Fun Bojo with fresh cranberry and raspberry fruit that made it a crowd favourite.

Fermented white pepper and fruit on the nose. Light, fruity palate, with just a hint of pepper and earth. Medium-long finish. Drinkable now, but not a huge hurry.

sampling Cru Beaujolais: dark ruby and light-medium body. dusty nose with red fruits and whiffs of clove, cinnamon and fresh herbs. fresh and fruity on the entry with a high-toned acidity that mellows as the minerality takes hold. some shades of nuance in the fruit appear mid-palate and continue to darken in tone toward the finish as the somewhat drying tannins kick in. lovely bittersweet notes on the finish.
very drinkable now, i do expect it'll gain complexity with a couple more years of bottle age.
12.5% AbV; from vines that range from 50-75 years old; whole-cluster fermentation; aged on the lees in neutral foudres and barrels for nine months

Cru Beaujolais (K&L Wine Merchant - Redwood City): Interesting aromas of accidentally roasted red berries and earth (almost gives an impression of roasted meats), finding sprigs of dill here, and dried stones.
Gentle attack of spice on the front of the palate, followed by approachable bitter red fruits like cranberries and pomegranate skins. These fruits are floating in a wide, clean pond. Dark and lightly bitter minerals on the mid palate and finishes with a soft trail of red fruits.
