So...I had a birthday a couple weeks back.and due to scheduling, my regular bottle finishing team wasn't available until now, so we're finally doing it up in my grand, unique style.
Notes possibly tomorrow, scores honestly tonight.
Decanted 6H.
24-Hour Update:
Nose has crushed bricks, blood orange, ripe cherries, cranberry sauce and wet vines.
Palate has dried cranberry (unsweetened), chalk, orange zest, black currant and dried blackberry.

Rustic and fast-forward, while dry and tasy. You can't do much better for $6. Thanks Lidl! — 8 years ago

Sweet! Watermelon jolly rancher with an air of robitussin. — 8 years ago
Dark fruits and plum with a little oak. Slight tang with fruit upfront but softened nicely with air over a day or 2. Really smoothed out with rich flavor and soft tannins. — 4 months ago
Hazy purple glou-glou! Watermelon Jolly Rancher was the primary flavor, along with some strawberry, cherry, pomegranate, and just a hint of orange peel. A well-made wine that is easy to enjoy chilled or not. 100% Valdiguié. 3/12/23. — 4 years ago

After realizing I’d never had a Beaujolais bottle before, I decided to find a top quality one to give a try. This is an “old vine” version from a very reputable producer.
Reddish purple in the glass but a bit translucent. Very candied and floral on the nose! Candied plum, orange zest, and cherry jolly rancher too. A wonderful entry and mid palate with notes of granite, cherry gummies, potpourri and an herbal note...maybe oregano? Very low acidity, and short finish. A fun wine to try and use as a benchmark/standard. — 8 years ago


The San Pellegrino of wines? I love me some San Pelle so that’s complimentary. Massive, tart mineral streak right down the center. Tasty on a hot summer day with Thai inspired salad. — 8 years ago

Rather liked this one. Drake it at the bar at the Wine Steward and brought a bottle home. — 8 years ago

Haven’t had for awhile. So brilliant. Fresh crushed berries, plums, forest, greenery, just on the nose. Palate is similar with some dried rose mixed in. Fresh plums, cherries, so tart, jolly rancher but not quite love this wine. — 2 months ago
