Another old school Beaujolais from this producer. If you like your Beaujolais lean and minerally, this is for you.Dark ruby garnet. Dark smoky, rocky minerals take the lead in the nose, with hard cherry candy fruit scents. Lean, crisp, and persistent in the mouth. With minerals from start to finish, and crunchy cherry, plum fruit. Great acids and some very fine tannins mark the finish. This is not vacuous, fruity, fun Beaujolais, but a wine made for dinner duty. B+. If memory serves, I got this for around $21 at table and Vine in West Springfield, MA when I was up there last fall. Imported by Louis/Dressner Selections.
