How would YOU describe Beaujolais 1999 FLEURIE, Domain des Quatres Vents, France ?

[wondersofwine]

Welcome to the board. Nice to have another North Carolina voice. I have not had this particular wine so maybe someone who has can answer your question. I have had two other 1999 Fleurie wines. One I described as purple in the center of the glass, garnet on the edges, revealing plum on the nose and plum, raspberry and a hint of chocolate on the palate. It had a velvety texture. It was a bit acidic by itself but improved with food (in this case, Cheshire cheese) and I rated it as a very good wine. I found a hint of chocolate in both the 1999 Fleuries I tried and I liked both wines with food. Suggest you try the wine yourself and see if it meets any of the above description. It may vary in nose or taste or both from the ones I had.
