2024 spring. I was excited to have a bottle - any bottle - of Bachelet, an old favorite which I don’t drink much anymore due to price craziness. This was good, but perhaps due to the vintage was rather dense and dark and brooding - perhaps it will loosen with time — 3 months ago

Light juicy summer beaujolais. — 4 months ago
Deep ruby in color; prunes, black cherries, and mushrooms on the nose; medium acidity; medium tannins; tastes like stewed plums, overripe blackberries, and wet gravel with a long finish. Tastes like there was a little Brettanomyces during the fermentation. Not enough to get a barnyard flavor or smell, but enough to make it earthy and mushroom-y. It's good, but not my favorite. A very interesting wine.
After some time in the glass, it has developed aromas of chocolate, prunes, and dried herbs. It tastes like cloves and cherries. The other flavors and aromas are so there, but more in balance now. Adding another point to my score. — 6 months ago
Strawberry, minerality, slight herbaceous note, floral, crush worthy rose. — 2 months ago
