This Beaujolais had loads of old-fashioned Beaujolais character. A great pick for summer drinking. As with most Beaujolais, it tastes best when it's a little cooler that normal room temperature (but not chilled). Pop it in the fridge for 20 minutes or so before drinking.
Nose: Classic old-style Beaujolais scents of hard cherry candy, granite, and brambly earth.
Mouth: Very pure cherry/mineral flavors. Very good concentration and weight, yet with that sense of lightness and softness that good Beaujolais should possess. Long, pure-tasting finish.
Score: 90.
Cellar or drink? Drinking beautifully now, this wine has the concentration and balance to keep nicely for at least another year.
Price/store: Was $16.99 at Central Market.
