Dark very purply-ruby. Extremely tight nose of cherries, stony minerals, and hint of cinnamon in the background. Lots of tart cherries and stony flavors, with lots of acidity and some serious tannic structure. Long, austere finish. 87+. Was $18.99 at West Side Wines in West Hartford.

2005 Pascal Granger JULIENAS "Cuvee Speciale" (Beaujolais, France)
This was a VERY TIGHT wine that needs -- atypically for a Beaujolais -- a year or two in a cool cellar.
