2006 Domaine des Michelons Moulin-A-Vent Beaujolais

Bright light ruby red. Very subdued nose with plums, beetroot, slight game, and underbrush. It's fresh. Acid driven palate and light/medium bodied. Overall, a restrained palate with silky, focused, and tight tannin. Super short finish with slight hickory smoke. Light and simple, balanced, but hardly exciting for a Cru Beaujolais. Is 'Exciting Beaujolais' an oxymoron?
