  Nose rich ripe intense red fruits cherry plum pomegranate rich florals of red rose violets , chocolate dried herbs , great complexity 29/30
  Palate med bodied rich ripe fruits from the nose , fine grain tannins Great acidity thoughout the palate super long silky finish 41/44
  Overall only wished I had bought more last year lovely wine , the extra has paid dividends 10/11

  Feel the critics reviews are a little harsh on this one. Ripe red fruits, a touch candied cherry and pomegranate, with blackberry, red clay pot, and a touch of kirsch in the finish. Really enjoyed this, would drink now and enjoy its brightness/freshness.

  Beautiful deep glowing purple colour. Dark cherries, dark chocolate, almost a bit of blood plum, and herbs (I’m assuming from some whole bunch work). Medium length and bodied but certainly one of the bolder, riper, more hedonistic gamay’s that I’ve had. Pretty delicious even at this young stage.
