Gorgeous nose of wild strawberries, forest notes, grapefruit, leather, and a bit of candied fruit. Very slight effervescence on the palate with high acidity, and more strawberry flavors, cherries, and a bit more forest notes. Long finish. This strongly reminded me of a high quality Red Burgundy, although a bit lighter with less body and more acidity. Awesome wine!

Of all the wines I have had from Ganevat this one convinced me the least. At cause were a slight prickle, felt on the palate but not visible, and a slightly confected note to its bouquet, which with a producer of lesser calibre I might attribute to alchemy with commercial yeasts. Both the colour and the palate were quite light but the latter was linear in shape and quite long and the young Pinot fruit was bright, fine and eloquent mingled with delicate minerality, some spice, fresh acidity and texture which I felt became silkier with exposure to air (remarks from the other side of the table disagreed). Either decanting and/or more age might help. Almost very good.

Amazing aroma of smoke, spicy red fruit, forest mold, and tropical flowers. Delicious spread of dry sparkling acidic fruit on the palate with a lovely sweetness emerging at the back. An utterly delicious wine with Mediterranean baked swordfish and grilled asparagus. 50 + 17 + 16 + 8 = 91.

Relatively consistent with my previous note, although this bottle felt a bit lighter and slightly less complex.
