This old Beaujolais Villages is better than that piece of crap Mordoree

96 Jadot Beaujolais Villages

Smoke, a touch of Morgon meat, Beau sap, a tad sparky, and here at 40 minutes developing a rather edgy burnt rubber wall in the nose that I think is my signal to really put it down. It was actually quite pleasant for the first while. I'd drink this any day over that piece of shite Mordoree I mentioned in the other thread.

12% alcohol, just enough to get me slightly riled, but not really.

Tasted twice, consistent notes.
 
This is sort of dog bites man. Had the Mordoree been better, it would have been man bites dog.

Sorry for your bad experience.

Pretty much unrelated, how are the bojo folks coming to grips with Kermit's much lauded Dupeubles? I tried the 05 last year and wasn't much taken. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't exciting either.
 
I've got the regular 07 Dupuebles lined up for this evening. I'll report back with the results.

I was somewhat interested by the non-cru (and non-villages) appellation on this wine. Is their estate all over the place, or just unfashionable real estate?

Cheers,

Kevin
 
I've gone through three (out of four) bottles of the 05 Dupeubles and found every one of them a hoot--fresh and fun to drink, and not remotely boring. Really good, actually.
 
The bottle I had last night was perfectly fine, but nowhere near as thrilling and precise as my experience with l'Ancien. I've never had Traditionelle. This was perhaps a bit bigger than the 07 l'Ancien. It was advertised as 12.5% I found it a bit weighty, with a singular gamay cherry-tinged fruity note, without much acidity to balance things out. It was also very muted in the aromatic department. YMMV.

cheers,

Kevin
 
We opened an 07 Dupeubles tonight. Granity-floral nose; a bit thin at first, but with really strong underlying acid zing, more granity vibrancy, a suspicion of dirt, and the sense that there must be some fruit in there somewhere. Looking forward to sampling the remainder tomorrow.

Reminds me a bit of the CRB Gamay with a bit more stone and a bit less fruit, if that makes sense.

It makes sense, but that must be some special terroir to have less fruit than the CRB. Which I assume is what you meant by 'CdRB'? Or am I just not aware of the CdRB producer?
