Medium pale purple. Floral and raspberries on the nose. In the mouth, concentrated, tart black and red fruit, plum and currant. Strong acidity carries through the mid into the finish. The mid also picks up some grippy tannins, leather and tar. Concentrated here too. There is an interesting floral and mineral character which carry from the aroma through the finish, but is subtle and I cannot define it better than that. The tannin astringency turns into a bit of a green streak at the end, which is an embarrassing end to what is otherwise a pretty punchy gamay.

No formal notes, but this was somehow less impressive than previous bottles, developing a distinct green streak with air. Hard to say if there is a specific cause (no obvious fault) so maybe this was just the wrong bottle on the wrong day.

Ripe black cherry, leather, wet stone, and a touch of smoke. Nice balancing acidity. Perfectly enjoyable without food.
