  Fresh, crunchy red fruit, mineral, very aromatic. Noticeable tannic grip. Finishes a bit short and bitter. Very Beaujolais.

  Slo-oxed for about 15 minutes. The wine showed a bit cloudy in the glass, but there was no sediment found in the bottle. On the palate, this medium bodied wine had strong red fruits, touches of spice and earth, and nicely balancing acidity. There were some tannins but they were completely integrated and soft. Can hold for a couple of years, but drink sooner.

  12.5% abv. Medium burgundy red, very aromatic. Raspberry, black cherry, mint and lots of sweet and savory spice. Excellent energy, depth and length. Outstanding!

  In NYC with some casual dinner at the apartment.
  
  Picking up from my prior notes: "Medium garnet color, nose has dark fruits, earth, barnyard. Medium body wine, restrained and elegant. Black cherry flavors, tart raspberry. Savory herbs and a hint of lavender on the finish."
  
  I think Kherrrick got it right...The whole cluster "greener" notes when first opened, wine was lean and not as expressive. Left bottle for about 3.5 hours and it really blossomed, expressive with good secondary characteristics. Still has a good arc ahead of it. Sadly, last bottle...

  At first i was disappointed. Huge wholecluster nose, but tart and tight on the palate. with 3/4 btl left, I put the cork back in and drank it later with dinner. in the few hours that it sat, it transformed. the fruit became ripe, sweet, and open; while the wholecluster gave it a beautiful floral quality. very balanced and moderate alcohol.
