WTN: one of my favorite 2006 Beaujolais

With herbed pork tenderloin (tasty, though we had a little mishap when Betsy added some more liquid - cold- to the Pyrex pan- bam!), a risotto with squash, radiccio, and saffron, and some chard, the 2006 Coudert "Clos de la Roilette" Fleurie. Lovely ripe red fruit, floral nose, nice texture. There's some interesting earth/meat things going on aromatically that remind me more of Rhone Syrah than Gamay, but the fruit is classic Fleurie. Light but firm tannins, this could last, but why wait? B+

Grade disclaimer: I'm a very easy grader, basically A is an excellent wine, B a good wine, C mediocre. Anything below C means I wouldn't drink at a party where it was only choice. Furthermore, I offer no promises of objectivity, accuracy, and certainly not of consistency.

I loved the 2005. Glad to hear the 2006 is really good as well.

Glad to hear this is showing well. I preferred the normal version in 2006 but would have thought it might be grumpy now. I'll have to pull one.
