Fairly mature. Notes of Asian plum sauce, soy, and earth with flecks of funk, white pepper and tar not unlike an old St. Joseph. Liked this a lot; interesting to know a gamay can go here


Regarding this wine, my experience with Jadot's Chateau des Jacques Beaujolais program leads me think this is likely more of an outlier. The CdJ wines always seem on the edge of something else compared to virtually all other Beaujolais. I like them very much, but don't look to them to tell me what Beaujolais might do in a general sense.

I appreciate that perspective. I own some of their '11Cotes du Py and am waiting on them. The one bottle I opened after acquiring them strongly indicated that patience would be required.
