There's alcohol heat here that seems to get in the way of the fruit, but what does make this wine more interesting is the abundance of spice it has, there just happens to be a hell of a lot of spice; but there also seems to be a spirits-like burn on the finish so it is very hard to drink. Age has not been kind here and has brought this one out of balance.

Awesome bottle of wine. Gamay character is present but its a much bigger and riper style like a Cru Beaujolais.
