  This performed very well. Some density to it. This closes out our 2006 stock. Dark color. Dark fruity nose with some floral aromas mixed with tea and even a little bread dough. Nice development on the mid-palate, with a nice blend of sweet and spice. Plum, blackberry and jammy fruits. The acidity toward the back half was a bit uncomfortable. Sorry to see the 2006s go after this bottle showed so well.

  This is consistently a very nice Beuajolais. Brighter red color and a nice cherry note on the front. Bright palate with sour cherry and spice. It is light and easy, with some back end tannins.

  Tasted with Indian food.
  
  NOSE: Deep nose with some interesting fruit complexity. Dark fruits, rich and deep aromas. A little tea, a little rose petals, a little wood/forest floor, but mostly interesting and intense fruit.
  PALATE: Light body, but not as light or candylike as the Roux Pere et Fils Beaujolais-Village. This was much more real. Good fruit on the midpalate. Slightly sweet, but with very gripping acidity that paired excellently with the Indian food. Much more acidic than Roux Pere. Very smooth - low alcohol? (would make sense: carbonic maceration). The finish was the only weak part, with a little unpleasant bitterness mixed with long, lingering acidity. Not tannic. CONCLUSION: paired well with Indian food. The best acidity-driven flavor profile I've seen in a Red Wine. $10/half.
