  Lovely! Certainly not a flimsy or watered down expression of Gamay, which, let's face it, can happen. This wine has nice concentration, solid extraction, great structure, and just an all-around wonderful enjoyability factor.
  Wildberries, saline minerality, and a kiss of brett on the nose. The medium body is varietally correct, And the acid is bright as you would expect without being harshly tart.
  
  A nice versatile wine for the dinner table to augment and support a wide variety of foods. As far as the age on this goes, it is in a very nice place, thoroughly developed but not showing any signs of tiredness. In fact I would not hesitate to let this ride another 5 years in the cellar.

  Consistent with my 6/3/23 note. Just a little bit less fruit and acidity.

  Drinking well right now. Good fruit, soft acidity. Should be enjoyable for several more years.

  This is super yummy at the moment. Lush berries in a medium body. Smooth tannins and not too acidic. Very easy drinking, a great pleasure.

  La garde lui a donné la chance d’évoluer légèrement au-delà des beaux arômes de cerises et de développer de la complexité. Ça demeure un vin très généreux, fruité. Malheureusement ma dernière, car ça aurait été vraiment intéressant de le suivre encore sur plusieurs années car il est en grande forme et je suspecte qu’il sera encore plus exceptionnel dans quelque temps.
