(de Villaine A&P Bourgogne Côte Chalonnaise La Digoine) Light ruby with definite hints of maturity - looks quite 'fragile' in the glass. The nose is relatively muted with strawberries and raspberries pushing through the undergrowth. The palate is a lovely thick and sweet thing with red berry fruits dominating. Perfect acidity and almost resolved tannin. This wine is only spoiled by a slight bitterness to the palate. Starting to drink nicely now, hopefully the bitterness will diminish, though to be fair it's much less obvious with food.
