2014. Kinda quiet at first. But lots to say after a quick decant.

A few years ago bought several bottles thinking I could medium age a few while I dipped in and out of tasting them. Now only one bottle left. Oops. I like best how its drinking now, has a nice acidic snap, had a broad, ungainly tomato-ey tone which now feels fresh & terroir specific, ie, red fruits incl wild raspberries & strawberries. Has the Beaujo straightforwardness I cherish. Weygandt imp.

Bought several & have laid them down for some medium aging- still tightly wound but appreciate its deep, black curranty goodness which is starting to open up. Some length. Mineral coating. Nothing like other Fleuries Ive had- something pensive & thought provoking here, like the older brother of a fun loving, more typical beaujo villages. Hope I can space my bottles out-pic is of a 2012 since I forgot to snap pic

All coiled energy, just needs time. Tasted over 3 days. More on mineral side than cherries/strawberry, to my taste. Weygandt imp.

Pooneet Kant

Nice bottle. Precise fruit with excellent acid. Not the most aromatically interesting but good mouthfeel and a good bit of earth.

Berry Marinussen

Not correct?

Maya Kaczorowski

Very light. A bit of a spice, not bad.

Nick Bonokoski

Took a bit of time to open up but quite tasty. Probably could use a year or two though.
