Gamay and Famille Paquet (Chicago, IL): Even more large scaled than the Terres Noires, but without the bitterness and with the fruit a little more subdued. More structural with prominent minerality and more acidity too.

Opened not decanted and served chilled. Needs to be warmer to enjoy. At the two hour mark the acidity is still crisp, a rounder mouthfeel with more depth of honeyed lemons. Light to medium weight in body; ends with a sour lime and mineral finish. Good.

Opened last night. Pretty good. Pretty aromas of steely citrus, including lemon and lime. Some lovely vanilla comes out in the mouth as well. Impressive at the price, if not the most complex of wines. 4-11-16-8: 89/100.

Excellent for the price...stone fruit, mineral, a bit of salinity.
