Healthy, but at the end of its run. Primary fruit flavors to start followed by a delightful walnut and woody aroma. A bit unbalanced on the finish (too hot), but faint tannins made this go well with a smoked blue cheese. Don’t keep any longer, consume now.

When first opened, a little hot and acidic, but once decanted, the wine was balanced with primary aromas of plum, hints of chocolate, and a little dried fruit. Faint (in a good way) barrel spice on the finish, full bodied, medium tannins, medium+ acidity- a nice treat for a weeknight.

Lovely meunier with exotic aromas of ginger, yellow fruit, and a long sweet mineral finish. A gem that’s drinking well now.
