  This pours out a medium dark reddish purple and smells a bit like a ripe Gamay - ripe blue fruit with a hint of funk. On the tongue it's a different story. More like ripe black cherry, a good hit of acidity, fairly prominent and grippy tannin, a bit of that old world forest floor thing, a hint of anise and a medium long finish.

  Even better than my first bottle a year and a half ago. I think its aromas, fruit and minerals have integrated further to make this a ideal quaffing wine like Beaujolais Villages and lesser crus but with a tangy Atlantic personality all its own. Very good.

  I'm going to do something I've never done on Cellartracker before, and quote my notes from an earlier vintage (2016.) Remarkable (to me), but my impressions tonight are exactly the same as the last time I had this joyous wine. Plus it's late, I've got to go to bed. 'Dark and lively purple. Wow, a beautifully seductive nose: plums, cherries, rasps, all in a wonderful seamless compote. It's impossible not to tip the glass enthusiastically after getting a sniff of that. On the palate it's light to medium bodied but absolutely bulging with generous fruit flavours; it seems to be unoaked. There's some structure there from both acidity and tannin, but both those elements are in check and the whole impression is of perfect balance. For a wine of this weight it's surprisingly long. It may seem odd to score what is a modestly-priced wine intended for everyday drinking so highly; but for me this is just one step down from the very best. It's joyous: delicious with food or without, easy to enjoy but possessed of subtleties of flavour and structure if anyone cares to pay attention; why do we love wine if not for these qualities?'

  Exhilarating tangy red currant infused fruit, lively acidity and earthy minerals as usual. Good.
