(A steal at $14.. a great price at $18.. and a good option above $30..) Decanted for 2hrs. Enjoyed over the following 2 hrs. Tart cherry fruit with integrated notes of soil and iron... simple, yet very well made and pure.. pure Burgundy... very transparent... with solid acid... making it best enjoyed with food... which really brings out the cherry fruit... good balance.. and rather elegant.. should age gracefully.. I'm happy.

Kinda tough love -- very minerally, earthy, iron-y French for sure. Much better with food than solo, on its own just a bit too dirty/metallic but some good fat helped round it out and bring out the (lean) fruit.
