This was really good. While it could definitely benefit from some time in the cellar, it's fun to drink now to experience all of its spunky youth. This is my kind of Gamay.

Deep, dense. Dark berry preserves and that smell of rain on asphalt. Fruit is pure. Need toast to spread this on. Tannic AF. Awesome.

Second day: cool, blue/black, granitic. Sap and a tiny bit of spice. Tannic and grippy. Dolcetto-like. Fantastic! #gamay #beaujolais #moulinavent

This can age, thanks to the best year for Beaujolais in decades! Grippy tannins, bright cherry, hints of banana, loose soil, and iron.

Very young nose, seems closed and tight. Palate confirms this. Tannic and sturdy grip. More savory side to Beaujolais as well. Cellar this for 5 or so years to let the skin and seed and stem tannin calm down. Will certainly score higher as the wine evolves.

Beautiful Gamay! This is why I love Beaujolais! Wonderful red fruits, a little earthiness, and wild game as well.

We were really digging on this one. Local chop is out of it. Darker fruits than your typical Gamay and some earthiness.
