  Ruby color, looking young when judged by the color. Funky, earthy bouquet with floral notes, red berry fruit. Expressive in the mouth, ripe, light red fruits, cranberry notes, orange peel, mint. There is so much fruit here, still. Bright acidity, good lift and freshness. Hard to believe this is a 13 year old wine. 5-10 years left, easily. And I think this will be more interesting in 5 years time.

  Light ruby color. Very aromatic displaying crushed cranberries, herbs like thyme, and plenty of funky earth.
  
  The texture of this wine was pure silk with the elegance of a fine Burgundy. It opened with mostly strawberry and cherry fruit that evolved into cranberry/red cherry after about half an hour. Lots of earth and light herbs mix into the finish that is medium long and slightly watery.
  
  It seems to have moved into that mature phase where it tastes more like a French Pinot than Gamay. Excellent, drink now - 2026

  Robe cerise dense mais translucide, légers reflets orangés;
  Bouquet harmonieux, invitant, sur un beau fruité doux & fondu avec des épices. Les notes florales parfument bien l'ensemble. Des notes de réglisses rouges, de sous-bois & de pierres concassés complètent le bouquet .
  Bouche en ligne avec le nez, principalement sur le fruit (cerise & fraise)& bien balancé par une acidité rafraîchissante. Minéralité bien perceptible en arrière plan du début à la fin. Finale sur des petits fruits sûrettes & épices. Somme toute encore assez jeune, l'ensemble commence à se fondre. Excellent!

  More intense compared to the 2010, slightly darker in the fruit. Floral, bright red fruit. Dancing on the palate, so delightful and intriguing. Great wine.
