  We liked this second bottle a bit less than the first. Mostly just raspberry fruit with a strange citrus cleaning fluid note as well. Not too bretty at least. This is like a Natty Beaujolais rather than a Chinon, and not one to enjoy all that much or age. If you chilled it and glugged it then it might work in a pinch. They should put it in a bottle with more of a cartoonish label (the label it has is more classical in nature) and all the natural wine hipsters would dig it though :)

  Too bretty to drink at this point. Third of three - don’t remember being put off by the first two, so it may just be this one bottle? Very unpleasant.

  Ruby. Very lovely fruits, blackberry and black plum. Touches of green peppers and green herbs. Good acidity. Some tannins but not at all rough. Very glugable. Excellent simple wine.

  Decanted. Now 1h after decant. Mild+ barnyard on the nose w ripe blackberries and black cherries, herbs, some green pepper and a bit of earth. Palate w ripe blackberries and ripe black cherries, herbs, minerals, a bit of green pepper, medicinal bark, and a touch of earth. Medium+ body w nice acids and medium tannins. Somewhat short finish of fruit, minerals, a bit of earth and lingering green pepper. Nice concentration of flavors. On the riper end of this wine but still with balance and good complexity. But also just delicious. My comfort wine. 90+
