Domaine de Florianne Fleurie 2009

All is forgiven! It may be the several glasses of pinot noir I had prior to tasting it but this gamay seems to have improved massively since last time (approx a year ago?). Clean, dry back cherry fruity, underpinned by a dry, faint peppery finish. Light, supple and refreshing. Everything I'd want from a Cru Beaujolais in this price bracket.

What does this tell us? Beaujolais from this vintage benefits from extended aging? Or is it just the context I drank it in. Luckily there are 2 bottles left for further experimentation.
