What a lovely, bright, nicely balanced (with plenty of acid) Gamay. Very clear expression (we did not get any funk off of our bottle). It is drinking well now. Drink now through 2024.

As IKESMITH wrote "some clean funk". I picked that up as reduction and air helps this out. I'd recommend a decant for several hours at this point or seeing about laying down for a few years. Still, with an hour of air it drinks nicely, still a bit of reduction ~rubber, not otherwise nice dark fruits, some tilled earth, smooth, good with food.
12.8% abv. Solid buy at close-out $16.

Opens with some clean funk, after a couple hours that mellows into a sweet, dried soil character. Reasonable fruit, all in balance. Lovely 5 years ahead of it.

Absolutely gorgeous! Light and bright and floral with a mineral backbone giving it solidity and strength.

Coravin - Fresh fruits, mild and bright, good acidity but not so aggressive that you can’t drink solo
