Less obviously fruity than the Jadot Beaujolais Villages. Smells more like red grape skins. Full bodied, with higher tannin than you might expect on a Fleurie. Quite structured, but with ripe fruit. Very good. Perhaps for a posh lunch.

I still have two left of the 2005 in stock, which was drinking on Easter Monday lunch quite beautifully. The wine has gone up a £1 since then, but that is inflation I suppose.
I'd have given the 2005 a

cellaring these, Morgon, Moulin a Vent, earthy Brouilly and St Amour mature nicely over 4 - 5 years if in the
right conditions and from the
right vintage
