This was a very good, large-scaled, structured Beaujolais. I used to sell this when I worked at Mosswood Wines in the early 1980s, and have seen it only rarely since. I was glad to see that Spec's had picked it up.
Eye: Saturated dark ruby with violet highlights.
Nose: Gorgeous, lively nose of crunchy, ripe plums and berries, with sweet cream and granite scents as well.
Mouth: Focused, lively, concentrated, and structured (for a Beaujolais), with crisp fruit, refreshing but not overdone acidity, and great balance. Very nice, and loaded with character.
Score: 89.
Cellar or drink? Drinking well now, this wine has the structure and depth to age 1-2 years.
Price/store: Was $19 at Spec's on Smith.

Agreed.Thivin's wines are stunning Cru Bojo and way--way undervalued and overlooked for the quality. Good stuff you are drinking in Texas.
