  Beaujolais Nouveau Pacalet 2011

  Snoothrank:

  Brilliant ripe red fruit aroma, very deep nose. Raisin/rum quality to it. The mouth is a bit sharp, with strong acidity. More so than I prefer, and the finish seems kind of short. Read More

  Snoothrank:

  Hints of leather and tar over cherries on the nose leading to initial flavors of sweetness, black tea, spice, & earth that make way for berry flavors finishing with soft flannel tannins. Read More

  Pacalet Moulin a Vent 2006

  Snoothrank:

  Starts out with an intricate nose of mushrooms and earth, with tobacco undertones. There's a bit of volatile acidity, but that dies down and past it the fruit flavors take hold. Plums primarily. Good solid, tannic, finish with a graham cracker pie crust flavor. Very nice. Read More

  Snoothrank:

  Chiroubles comes from vines at higher elevation that produce delicate wines and Pacalet's minimalist style of winemaking preserves this ethereal quality. A touch funky on the nose with a gamy edge to the wooly, wet cotton, rainwater tones that features an intriguing touch of dried thyme. This is a bit more structured in the mouth with lots of s...
