Acquired a case of this in 2010 and wasn't overly impressed with it. Seemed to be rough edged and lacking any cru Beaujolais qualities like violets, black cherry etc.
With 3 bottles left I read a Jancis Robinson piece in the FT about 2009 Beaujolais being unusually tannic. I duly stashed the rest away.
Does it taste any different in 2013? It may well be the emperor's new clothes but it does seem to have softened. The fruit is still very faint. Slight creaminess to the finish. Acidity is there, too much really.
