Haven't had much experience with Gamay varietal. Big jammy dark fruit flavor with a dry finish. Very nice.

Great Brouilly. Tart cherry with potting soil and floral notes. Light tannins, nice acidity in the finale.

Decanted, took 20 minutes to open. Then it was riding high for an hour before fading out. Deep red fruit and grandma's attic.

Great, versatile bottle. Went well with ham as well as with the roast vegetables, Brussel sprouts, and orange garnish. Amazing. Notes of cherry and tobacco. Strong tannins.

Young fruit still has legs to go. Paired with Portuguese pork stew with macanese shrimp paste
