So fun to try this famously age-worthy cru Beaujolais. Deep purple color, very similar to current releases of this bottle with just a little bit of pale bricking around the rim. On the nose, bursting with dark red fruits: blackberry, dark red cherry, artificial “scratch-n-sniff” purple grape. Little bit of stoney undertones indicating the age.

On the palette, powdery tannins and really soft expression of the red fruits, but still so primary and ripe. It’s shed all the bitterness that you can get with young Moulin a Vent and retains all the power.

Loved this, totally belies its age and drinks like a Clos de Mouches.
