The aroma has a touch of oak underneath strong bright berries. The initially bright aroma actually takes a small dip as it begins to open up. Fairly strong tannins up front, fruity, bright, light flavor. Oak comes out more in the aroma as it continues to open (and eventually some chocolate), and flavor lightens up a bit as the tannins become more subdued. Dark maroon in color, and a little translucent.
Tasted at about 60°F.

Nice cru beaujolais with red fruits and earthy aromas followed by black cherry, raspberry, cranberry fruit with earthy mushroom and hints of nutmeg and cinnamon. Way too easy to drink, probably peaking right now and I'd recommend drinking this wine by early 2014 as the fruit is fading a bit and this won't be getting much better.

Beautiful fruit. Nicely balanced, with decent acidity. Lively and lovely over four nights. Our last one, and sad to see it go.
