Eric Morin Chiroubles Tradition 1999
Beaujolais, France
Medium deep color..but slightly milky..which many Beaujolais are...burnt aroma...try again..burnt aroma..oh..come on..there must be something there...nope..burnt aroma. Pleasant mouthful as regards weight..but dry tannins..and a fresh acidity..which would be fine 5 years ago..but this is pretty fruitless. The blurb from the merchant...
ein ganz großer Burgunder!
- lassen Sie sich von diesem reinsortigen Gamay überraschen - Sie werden es nicht bereuen!
dieser Cru du Beaujolais ist Morins' Meisterwerk: mit einem Hauch von Schokolade
reift 12 Monate in kleinen Barriques, die pro Jahr zu 1/3 erneuert werden
Rebsorte: 100 % Gamay €14,--
which roughly means..a very good Burgundy..you will not regret it. Shall I sue?....when did he write that?.. agreed..the price should have warned me...
