Best Beaujolais

[hotwine]

Tried Duboeuf's 2000 Chiroubles, Domaine Desmure, Sunday evening with another non-descript frozen dinner - pasta something or other. Dark and brooding, the color of cranberries; it looks more like a Rioja, it's just as opaque. The nose tells you it's Chiroubles. A mouthfull of rich, powerful fruit, with enough tannin to give it endurance. Boys and girls, this is the most serious Beaujolais I've ever experienced, and I've been drinkin' the stuff for over 30 years. Buy it by the truckload while you can, before I lease a warehouse and corner the market!
