Roughly signing off from what turned out to be quite a heavy cold, there was also a 1996 Penfolds Bin 707 with a rubbish, crumbly cork. But the cork had been a good seal and the wine was in perfect condition…

2020 Jules Desjourneys Beaujolais Villages Blanc
Modest colour. A deep nose, with a subtly toasty reduction. Hmm, still some gas – but what a mouth-watering, mineral flavour this shows. Nothing of the richness or the excess rigour of 99.9% of white Beaujolais. Still a hint of rigour, but this is also a Beaujolais with tension – delicious tension – rejoice !!
