My tasting group reconvened last night after a 9-month hiatus.  It was good to be back!  This little gem went under the radar.  No one guessed Cru Beaujolais!  I decided to bring the rest home and retry it under less stressful conditions.  The wine is medium ruby colored with slight staining and medium viscosity (13% ABV).  On the nose I get medium intensity aromas of black cherry, black raspberry, cola and pepper.  The palate is dry with medium (+) acidity, medium tannins and a medium (-) body.  It has settled down since last nice, the tannic grip far smoother and less intense.  Flavors of dark red fruit coupled with cola, pepper and a granitic minerality coat my mouth ever so.  The finish is medium in length and has a slightly sour cherry note, keeping things fresh.  A delightful Gamay wine that could drink nicely till 2028.  I’m going with 89 points and for $25- 4 stars.  Salut….
