  A bit of a strange nose on this one. There is a clear oxidative note above everything else, mainly savory red cherry, iron and faint sous bois. It’s sour in a way that makes you think of many Italian reds. On the palate it is medium-bodied and markedly savory with good richness and appropriate tannins. Also here it has such a strong sour cherry thing going on that it is hard not to think of Sangiovese. It is wonderfully structured with great acidity and with its low ABV it is immensely drinkable and enjoyable. You could call it rustic but I still find it very attractive. The finish is persistent and clean. It just might be that this is not a 100% representative bottle - maybe not even close - but I have absolutely no problem enjoying this with and without food.

  Very nice for the price and Bourgogne. A little reduction, cranberries, black tea. Medium/+ acidity and velvet tanins - black cherry, raspberry, burnt coffee.
