  Highly aromatic - bright cranberry and cherry smells, a bit of an alcohol overtone. Christmas spices. Fun - makes me think of a French bistro. The flavor profile is unique - still feeling very French, cool vintage - maybe from Alsace? Soft mouth feel, medium acidity with red fruit and wood flavors. Cranberry from the nose is still there, lending the acidity. Red currant and not-yet-ripe strawberry. The wood flavor slowly builds, moving from new-oak vanilla into a darker old wood flavor that lingers on the palate. The finish is very long - 45 - 60 seconds. The wine really begs for food - bistro type food, grilled vegetables, mushrooms, chicken or pork stew. Fun!

  This is tasty; every time I drink the meunier from Eyrie, I think, this is good, I should pick up a couple more bottles next year, and then I usually forget. That said, this is super enjoyable for me; bright red fruits, some sanguine/game notes, earthy, smoky. Fresh and vibrant on the palate with driving acidity that makes it almost borderline tart, but makes it great on the table. Good stuff

  Translucent garnet in colour. Intriguing funk on the nose in a good way. Super silky tannins and light bodied with very savoury red fruit, good freshness and precision. I really like this. Screams v fine wine and of course so distinctive. BTG.
