Very enjoyable even at this late date - started off with some fizz that blew off and turned into a very enjoyable dinner wine, plenty of acid and some nice cherry/berry flavor. A pleasant surprise!

Really nice acidity and red fruit (raspberry/strawberry). This is a bigger, bolder version of Gamay than is typically found in Beaujolais. Pairs great with food due to vibrant acidity.

color: medium brick red, super vibrant & clear, very slight browning on edges. This wine changes dramatically with the slightest air exposure, my opinion changed drastically in just minutes. Nose (after 10 mins) bouquet of raspberry, earth, wet stone, bright red fruit, almost zingy. In mouth cranberry, strawberry, some black cherry. some minerality, silky mouthfeel. Quite high acidity, almost a tad much, would settle down with bit more bottle time. Unique, wonderful wine. try it and broaden your horizons.
