At first a bit tight, acidic, but really opened up - we did not decant it, but it really needed a decant - last sip much superior to the first. Still quite primary, if I had more I wouldn't hesitate to hold them for 5-10 years more.

Still drinking OK. Nice Cru B., that fits that lighter red wine category when the food calls for something that goes with everything... like Thanksgiving dinner!

Strawberries and a bit of musk on nose - attractive. Full mouth feel, with tannin providing a bit of texture. Strawberry and cherry flavours - pure fruit. Good length.

Deep ruby red color. Intense aroma of red currants and raspberries with subtle warming spices. Juicy and med/full-bodied with a round shape and hints of tannin. Long finish with fantastic acidity and mild gaminess. Harmonious.

Rich and fruity wine, with hints of strawberry/raspberry on the pallette. Well-balanced acidity and tannins that linger just long enough after a sip. Also noticed hints of currant. Would be interested in trying this wine again.

Crushed raspberries and ripe strawberries define the aroma. Juicy notes of pomegranate and a faint tone of blueberry juice also show through with a deep floral quality and an edge of kitchen spice appearing as well.
Ripe, refined, soft, and elegant, this wine shows an incredibly bright and plush core of red fruit. A delicate spiciness and a juicy acidity give it a liveliness from the very first sip. Light bakery notes, hints of ground coffee, and white pepper then come together with red currant, red plum, and strawberry, creating a very enjoyable and captivating drinking experience. An elegant and silky wine with extremely subtle dusty tannins, this is an attractively demure Gamay that keeps your palate constantly moving and your mind thinking.
Not much bouquet - just a whiff of ripe plum and stone. Bite to the plum (pit) on the palate, with some stewed raspberry. Good acidity and a medium finish. Fairly complex cru, with good QPR.
