Gorgeous. Tiny strawberries, crunchy leaves, cedar, iron, some animal notes. Sweet spot in mid-transition from primary to secondary. Once again the strategy of blue chip producers in “lesser” vintages pays off

Simply everything. Tart cherry, raspberry, turned earth, cedar, blood, acid to infinity and beyond.

A top example of its kind, this is benchmark Beaujolais wine. It has it all: rocks and minerals, fruit and subtle spice with a nice structure and acidity. A gorgeous perfume aroma of fruit and terroir rise from the glass. Serious stuff that is also enjoyable if you want to switch the brain off.

A very pleasant light red wine with cherry flavors layered with touch of fresh grass. A bit more acid tan American wine without being overbearing
