Community Tasting Note

Thursday, May 21, 2015 - I was taken aback if you will by the dark color to this gamay. Very pure nose of ripe cranberry, creosote, wet soil, cumin, tangerine skin, or perhaps it's blood orange. Love the nose; so pure, perfumed, and unadulterated. All this and I only opened the Jean-Francois Merieau ten minutes ago. The wine seems a whisper rounder than gamay grown in Beaujolais. With time comes a beef broth essence. The palate is tart, somewhat acidic, and medium bodied at best. This is so good I just went online and ordered three more. I think this has the structure and balance to improve a little bit with time so I'm going to say look for it to drink well into late 2016 and would suggest putting it into play no later than Summer, 2017. Great juice, especially at $17 after tax. 12.5%
