Interesting varietal. Very much like Gamay as someone else stated with a little more substance. Red fruits with a light mouthfeel. Easy to drink and a god summer wine. Not complex and short after taste.

The nose showed crushed wild berries, candle wax and herbal-alpine notes. On the plate it was medium-bodied with savory red fruits, saline minerals, inner florals and a hint of pepper. The finish was cut short, yet it showed pretty crushed berry and waxy tones.

Day 1 (45 min decant): Gamay on steroids; big violet aroma, dark fruits. Tons of acidity and tannin. Day 2 (vacuvin/fridge): Better! Oak-forward, with caramel and some nice funky earth. Still big, but also delicious and refreshing. Pair with some grilled or roasted meat. 90-93pts.
This will probably be best with a few years on its side, and will easily drink well through 2020.
