Ginas favorite! From paradox in Stevenson — 6 years ago
2018 vintage. Last tasted 11.4.25 (9.3). Opened AND decanted (this time), tasting after 15 minutes and one hour with the temperature between 55-62 degrees. White pepper, citrus oils, lemon zest, trace minerals and hazelnuts. Perfectly between medium/medium-heavy body with that yellow Chartreuse color and a pleasing, sumptuous amount of total harmony. Miffy that this was the last bottle. Quite the ride. Contribution to the FLB (Friday Lunch Bunch). 2.13.26.

Solid Cru Beaujolais. Medium garnet color. Bright aromas of ripe red and black cherries, earth and violets. Expressive flavors of red and black cherry/raspberry/currant fruit, tobacco and a pleasant hint of baking spices. A bit of black pepper and the presence of stemmy carbonic maceration on the very long and tingly finish. Quite juicy and crisp. Fruit forward, nicely structured and pretty well balanced. — 8 months ago

This stuff carries the richness and generosity of the vintage in a great way. Succulent pear, peach syrup and dashes of lemonzest, smoke and vanilla make this village-level wine an uncomplicated joy to drink.
