| 1997 Domaine de la Madone Beaujolais Villages Reserve Beaujolais Villages, France WB Rating: 84 Alcohol by volume: 13.0% Price at time of purchase: $9.00 (North Berkeley Wine Imports) Type: Beaujolais Principal varietal(s): Gamay Medium ruby color, medium body. Berry fruit running the gamut from raspberry to strawberry. A strong hint of spiced peaches, also. Good balance, drinking nicely at this "advanced" age for a Beaujolais. Like most Beaujolais, not a long finish nor great complexity; otherwise it would be rated higher. Beaujolais of this quality and at this price are a tremendous bargain since they offer such an interesting range of flavors and rarely disappoint in the fruit department. - HK 2000-11-30 [Back] |
