Tasted November 2011. Very Gamay driven with dominating light berry and floral flavours. Was actually a bit better the second day once the fruitiness had subdued a bit.

Light ruby in colour with a medium+ intensity on the nose.
Positives: A delightful nose showing floral notes of purple lilac along with cranberry, beets, rhubarb & a dusting of earth notes. If I just rated the nose it would be a 10/10. The taste is delightful but doesn't compare with the nose. Medium light body, low tannins, good acidity & a long length. Cranberry, rhubarb, sour cherry, herbal notes & earth flavours.
Negatives: A touch too tart which drops it out of the 9/10 scoring.
Interesting Point: Gamay dominates here & the wood age is almost unnoticeable.
Drink now by pairing it with stuff turkey.
