1972 Beaujolais

[Innkeeper]

Beaujolais is a light red wine. As such it does not have those characteristics that fuller reds have to enable long term aging.
Therefore, plan to open yours as soon as possible, and try to sort of stand out of the way as you do it. If it is for a planned affair you might want to have a bottle or two of 1999 Beaujolais standing by.
