Fleurie Redux

The disappointing Fleurie opened up over a few hours to show a wholly different profile. Asparagus, pomegranate syrup and structure emerged.

I don't think I'll ever be a beaujolais aficianado, but I'm heartened to re-taste a good example of the genre and find I was hasty in my estimation of it. A bright, light-bodied acidic wine, it has a certain something I missed when I first opened it.
