The wine looks very dark and smells it, too. Blackberry aromas dominate the nose and palate, with a fair amount of complexity in the forms of minerality. A grapey taste stands front and center with shades of earth showing nicely. The finish is plain and unfettered by nuance. It's good this year, but it’s still not a wine to think too much about, it's a wine to absent-mindedly swirl and sip over good conversation.

What one would expect from nouveau Beaujolais. Young and fruity - well balanced.

Still pretty young, but paired well with spicy pasta dinner.
