High neck fill and cork in great shape. Good color in glass with no evidence of browning. Lovely bouquet. Medium body on palate with lightly tannic finish. Fruit starting to dry out. Fading but still decent. A little sediment. Drink up.

Deep ruby, leaning toward purple color. Medium intensity nose with developing aromas of black fruits, blackberry, granite and tropical spice notes. Dry, medium acidity and medium minus tannins. Tightly wound on the palate this wine needs some time to open up. Great wine for the money.
Darker colored in that I can't see my fingers through the glass. Nose is a little reserved with dark berries, banana and vanilla (oak) coming though. Taste is light, sour red fruit up front a hit of acid on mid-palate and the transitions to pretty chalky tannins on the finish. For whatever reason (okay maybe its the oak and tannins) I just think this is more new world.
Completely different than the Georges Dubœuf Brouilly we had the other night and that's OK.

(Georges Dubœuf Moulin-à-Vent Carquelin) Group's #2 (my #5) – 19 pts; 2, 1, 0, 1 – rich, darker nose, with hints of barbecue and soy sauce; tart, tasty red fruit and cherry, rather one-dimensional though, and off-puttingly tart; medium finish

Part of a larger, pre-Thanksgiving meal, so it was difficult to pin this one down. Certainly decent, just not that nuanced for my palate.
