Really enjoyable 4 year old Beaujolais. Cherries, red currant, bubblegum, touch of barnyard earth and some baking spice. Soft acids remain along with a firm medium body and finish. Wish I had more than two of these left.

Decanted. Took about 1h after decant to open up. Now 2h after decant. Aromas of effervescent, jolly rancher cherries, prominent bubblegum, spices, herbs and a bit of minerals. Juicy palate w candied red cherries, some bubblegum, minerals, and candied blackberries come on the midpalate. Nice moderately long finish w a bit of refreshing bitterness at end. Mild tannins on midpalate w excellent acids. Medium+ body. Definitely ripe, bordering on being overdone but the acids keep the wine in check. Better when the wine was at cellar temp that kept the ripe fruit in check.

Same as 1/23/202 note with a little more earthiness and less bubblegum. Fun and enjoyable. Glad I have more bottles!
