  I love Beaujolais and Gamay wines, this one in particular was a delight when I first tried it, and one I definitely thought aging would make even more interesting. Imagine my shock when I pealed the capsule to find plastic cork ... Luckily I chilled the wine which I was hoping would counterbalance any effects the cork may have had. Its a nice dream that can defeat a bad closure. The cherry comes through and a little anise seed, but the wine also seemed muted and dumb, though this could also be due to its age. It does develop a hint of raspberry and bitter cherry on the mid-palate to finish, but overall was an uninspiring wine.

  We had this at a friends inventory reduction tasting. It had a fragrant and focused bouquet of smoke, black cherry, strawberry and mocha aromas. The palate was smooth and balanced, but a little thin with flavors of black cherry and mocha.

  what a beaujolais should taste like. ruby colored with medium viscosity. strawberries, candied cherries and a hint of bazooka joe bubble gum on the nose. surprisingly good structure ... this wine is not thin. it's vibrant, fresh and fruity, with hints of mineral and a medium finish. good value.
