Tasted after 45 minutes of air. Dark garnet color. Juicy sweet blueberry fruit. Some grippy acid provides some balance but sweetness is just over the top. Some spice. Too jammy for my palate.

Voluptuous. This wine is at its apex. Everything is integrated, yet you can feel the curves from front to middle to finish. 2018 must have been a great year for Gamay from the Bjornson vineyard.
Served around 60 degrees. Notes are similar from my previous bottle; dark fruits, med+ bodied but not jammy.
I had this tonight with a mushroom, goat cheese & zucchini tart. Would be very good with roast chicken, pork chops, cassoulet.
A terrific wine, even better at this price point!
I will attempt to save my last bottle for February 1, 2023.

Black pepper, some barnyard in the aromatics, but both giving the wine a unique sense. Grippy cherry, juicy and a good tannic grip.
