Duboeuf's 1991s, from one of the finest Beaujolais vintages in the last twenty years, are still in the pipeline. The richer wines will last for another several years -uncommonly long for Beaujolais. The marketplace for Beaujolais tends to jump into the new vintage, forgetting older vintages. In most cases this makes good sense, as most Beaujolais should be consumed within 2 years of the vintage. However, 1991 was a stunning Beaujolais vintage. Duboeuf considers it one of the finest in decades. Because stocks of some of the biggest and richest 1991s remain available at the wholesale and retail levels, I thought updated tasting notes (March, 1993) might provide another incentive for readers to latch onto a few dazzling examples of 1991 Beaujolais. The 1991 Fleurie-Domaine Quatre Vents is still exhibiting gorgeous purity of fruit, a wonderfully round, generous, black fruit character, rich, medium to full-bodied flavors, and a luscious finish. The wine is more open and charming now than it was a year ago.Importers: William Deutsch and Sons, Chappaqua, NY and Wine Sellers, Skokie, IL.
