Quite singular, and almost not very nice (but I did like it). Funky nose, with some VA and a hint of Brett that seemed to grow with time, and just a hint of tart blackberry fruit. Had the tomato-juice savouriness I associate with Loire Cab Franc more than Gamay, and plentiful acidity. Concentrated in flavour terms, but pretty light and crisp in feel. Overall, it just about worked!

Delightful, well-balanced, very drinkable, but far from facile.... and just so damn tasty. Reading the reviews below, I think this wine has settled down over the last couple of years.
So much more what I want than the 2018 fruit bombs I was beginning to tire of (hopefully time will be kind to them too). I liked it a lot !

Masculine Beaujolais. Neither round nor edgy; elevated and flat on the palate. Ferris and bloody; no fruit. Lots of acidity, structure to age. More yielding than a year ago but still hard. Such an individual wine.

Lovely texture, full of layers and not without complexity.
Tart berries, wonderful sharpness and fabulous acidity.
Hint of candy.
Good drop of gamay, really enjoyable and good value for money.

Flawed bottle.
Appearance - cloudy. Aroma and taste - very farmyardy.
One bottle left of this. I'm hoping for better things.
