Beaujolais Gamay
Beaujolais, Burgundy, France
The nose was very unsettled at first and showcased intense barnyard and rotten egg notes. It went away after one hour and half to show a big bright cherry, cherry liquor note along with hay and rose petals touches. This is great. The palate is next level though. There is an intense cherry note that shines through and through, along with a massive acid backbone. There is good width and some nice matter on the side, a soft mouthfeel and even a creamy thing that adds a layer of texture and complexity on top. Some fine, sandy yet subtle tannins kick in in the rear to power up a very long fruity finish that carries that creamy touch till the end. This is a great wine! Now I understand the hype around it, but I will probably not buy again because at 29 EUR, and even if it's a great wine, there is very little value to it...
