I wanted our virtual tasting group to try a cru Beaujolais, unfortunately this one wasn’t it…. Medium ruby bordering on garnet with a low viscosity (12.5% ABV). The nose had medium intensity aromas of purple grapes, pepper and plum. It was quite boring. The palate had medium (-) acidity, a medium (-) body, and medium (-) tannins. Flavors of green pepper, grape, fresh peppercorns, and some plum gave way to a decently long finish that lifted the low score of this one-dimensional wine. I scored it a mere 12 points on our tasting scale and awarded it 89 points on technical merit. I paid $23 for this 3 star effort. Drink till 2028. Salut….
