Fully mature. Great acid balance, giving the wine nervous energy. Lots of flavor impact with a moderate amount of weight. Angular structure. Some mouse on the finish.

How cool is this wine, loved it. Light cranberry color. Sweet strawberry aromas. Light strawberry flavors and a very feminine feel. Maybe lower alcohol? This screams to pair with turkey on thanksgiving.

I enjoyed this, as it flirts with an elegance of weight yet there is plenty of fruit tones that complement. Sour cherry and strawberry, joined by an herbal, pungent quality--my notes say Indian spice.

GMs - 1995 Bordeaux Tasting: Stalk, strawberry, bramble, undergrowth and tomato leaf. Spritzy palate, with upfront acidity that pushes the flavour through but maybe trails off a little early. Interesting even at the very end of the night.

Dinner at Nathan's House: Better than the last bottle I had, but it still reminded me a lot of Sancerre Rouge. There's this subtle tomato note that just reminds me of the Loire, but this was a bit meatier and dense.

From the last tasting, this evolved in a very good way. The slight exuberance calmed down and made very refined and still very joyful. It is more balanced and still damn delicious.

Some fizz that quickly disappear. Bright Ruby color. A Pinot earthy nose with bright red fruits. Palate is joyfull and youthful, with cherry / strawberry tart. Very similar to the poulsard with some gravitas of the Pinot. Later on it evolved with more earthy, and mushroom, bringing some similarities of the Pacalet Pommard, but still the somehow typical Jura acidity. I like this wine now, and I don't think it is a long term cellar winner... But who knows ?

Dinner at Marc's (Marc's House - Bellingham, WA): This reminded me of some Loire pinots I've had. Potent nose of radish, tomato and floral notes. Palate was a bit sour, but turned the corner with some air to have some nice red fruit and earthy notes. This was pretty nice, but not in the "wow" territory for me.

An unusual wine for me, as I have stayed away from the Jura. Bizarre electric red color, kind of like Kool-Aid / Wyler's strawberry from when I was a kid. Interesting floral nose, and then an all-out tart acid attack on my palate. I was actually afraid of this wine after I tasted it, thinking it was some sort of witches brew from the netherworld. I will withhold rating, because I do not fully understand nor comprehend this concoction, and will leave it to those who appreciate these wines on a regular basis.

Jurafest 2012, Day 3 (E&R Wine Shop, Portland OR): Nice earthy Pinot aromas. Very bright and lean, but at the same time certainly distinguishable as Pinot Noir. Some green herbal notion is there. The palate is bright but very thin. Incredibly lean, tart and soft in texture. Moderate acidity, but I'm really just struck by the lightness. Tart, soft and lean on the finish. Balanced, with nothing out of whack, but it's definitely light. Again, bet this will age impeccably, but for consumption today it doesn't offer much pleasure; just the pleasure of light structural balance that will turn into something quite nice. 89+

Delicious and very drinkable at the moment. Nice light tart cherry flavors, without being overly fruity. A very strong thirst-quenching flavor, yet plenty of complexity that should take over with some more time in the cellar.

Superb. One of the best Ganevat reds I’ve had. Bright, tart, fresh, depth without too much power. Great poise.
