I have never been disappointed by a Cru Beaujolais, though I admit the first day this #brouilly was closed and a touch unbalanced on the tart side. Wine fridge +1 day and it’s expressed itself pleasantly. Cooked raspberry, lighter cherry nose, lovely acid-forward balance with more pronounced fruit on the second day, understated mineral notes. Good decision to buy 3 bottles at less than $20 each @ #costcowines — 4 months ago
This checks all the boxes, considering the price. The faintest bit of rubber tires under the cherry nose. Cherries, tobacco leaf, orange peel bitterness. Under some oak influence, but not off putting.
Listening to Paganini. French wine with an Italian composer 🤔 nice pairing, though. — a month ago
PJW 6 pack for his visit - this is OTH, definitely some funk, Paul says wasn’t kept well, but great bones, it really grew on me as it opened - smoky, a bit of cobwebs, love it. Should seek out a ‘16 — 3 months ago
Pretty light garnet ruby , wide light garnet rim. Quite high toned and spiced nose , honied dry herbs , sweet dried raspberry , strawberry and rose . On the palate this is quite light and refreshing in style , with light sweet red fruits and herbal touches , balanced acidity and a saline hint . Rounded light tannins and good length finish . This is ready , quite charming , ethereal and balanced . Drink now and over the next few years — 4 months ago
Mocha, tobacco and black cherry. Gentle tannins supporting a strong thick body, albeit a pinch of dry on the palate. — 2 months ago
This is a superstar wine in 22 and now 23. They also could not be more different. Stunning nose of ripe mid to late season cherry and a hit of kirsch. Stunning fruit clarity. Gorgeous stoniness and elegant herbs. Terrific tiny berry fruit intensity. Elite finesse and shows the silkiness of this brilliant site. The tannins are stoney and big but ripe and sweet. This doesn’t have the decadence of the 2022. Great freshness and has that chord progression fruit that is a signature of 2023. Unreal silkiness. Gorgeous wine but will be better with a few more hours of air. Oh it’s getting opulent like this site does and wow the energy is off the charts. Tannins melting into fruit. After 5-6 hours this is just insane. The energy of 23 and the opulence of 22. Genius!

Drinking beautifully! There’s a cool pine resin note that was very intriguing. Paired with Miyazaki Wagyu. — 21 days ago
