Fresh, lean and clean. This reminds me of the good bing cherries I need in order to make a great cherry caipirinha. Not tart but not sweet either. They have to be just right!

Floral and dark plum/berry aromas and flavors, solid structure, very good balancing acidity, long, lingering finish, needs more cellaring, Jean-Paul does it again!!

Gamay, even from Cru Beaujolais, is not really my cup of tea. But this might change mind.
Nose of cranberry, raspberry, tea leaf, menthol, and hint of rose petals. Medium to full body. The palate is fresh and surprisingly powerful. Good concentration and length.
