Good People. Great Wine.

A surprisingly dumb wine, not giving much beyond very dry tannins. The result is a wine that has bitterness, with dark chocolate and bitter cherry fruits. Will it open up? Maybe, but the jury is still out. 1 Note

The black cherry fruit that forms the core of this wine is still remarkably fresh and vibrant under layers of tree bark, chocolate and earth. The supple texture is a treat; a notable success for the vintage. 1 Note

Soft, but with an edge of dusty tannins, this wine has bright forward jammy red fruits that fill the mouth easily. It is open, fresh and, finally, almost sweet. 1 Note

The Duboeuf family property on the edge of the village of Juliénas produces a satisfyingly full-bodied wine, its fruit and tannins offering balance and ripeness. Acidity and cherry flavors are dominant over the dry core. 1 Note

Broad, open wine with berry fruits, black cherries and a soft texture. The wine has freshness, plenty of acidity, for drinking now. 1 Note

Light, freshly red cherry-dominated wine. The light tannins are a background to the acidity and the fresh fruit. Easy style of Beaujolais. 1 Note

A big, solid wine, dominated by both tannins and dark red fruits. This is an impressive wine, its structure full of dark corners. The acidity is an integral part of the rich fruits. Definitely ageworthy. 1 Note

On the tannic side of Gamay, this could be young Pinot Noir in its mineral structure and solid texture. It is a wine for aging with its black plum and spice flavors, with the acidity lighting up the aftertaste. 1 Note

A wine that starts bright, and then reveals a more bitter, austere side. The tannins move forwards, hiding the cherry fruit flavors. That makes for a complex wine, the acidity offering a fresh respite. 1 Note

A hard-edged wine showing a tough, mineral character, one that promises some aging. The wine is big and powered by tannins as much as fruit, although there is an unfortunate banana flavors that creeps in. 1 Note
