  Wasn't really sure what to expect, but this was fire (with an asterisk). Nose opened up after 15-30 minutes but started a bit reductive a la mini-comte belair, opening to pungent cherry and finally pure fresh rose, not dissimilar to the village msd dujac I had last year. Tires out after a few hours, but no complaints on that. Palate starts with what someone described in a Yann Durieux note wine as gueuze-esque, though I thought that bottle was overdone, whereas here it's just enough to keep things interesting, blows off with time, and doesn't fully assault and dry out my mouth. All this while staying fairly light and could only tell its gamay from the palate. The asterisk is that this is such a complex, fun, and nerd-friendly wine if you can get it for under ~$150. Unfortunately, when you start getting above that price, you are trading stuffing you can get in some higher class stuff for flair that only stem and reduction loving drinkers may be willing to pay for.

  Geeky stuff. Big bright red fruits. Very fun wine to taste.
