Tasted both the '12 & '13 vintage. 2013 has a lush texture with a lot of grip. Fruit is deep red and the oak is noticeable. Should inter-grate nicely over the next 3-5yrs. The 2012 was showing beautifully. Really concentrated red and black fruit, oak much less noticeable and starting to round out a bit. Gamay's worth aging!

Probably my favorite Cru Beaujolais bottling. Complex and layered with flavor. Held it's own following a 2004 Premier Cru Vosne Romanee. Most of my dinner guests thought it was another Burgundy.

A great cru Beaujolais. Clos de la Roilette is always good, though this beats out the Cuvée de Tardive any day of the week.
