Carbonic character is really kickin here. Beaujolais, but with more richness across the mid-palate. Bursting with ripe berry fruit, even a hint of blueberry which is cool. Started eating kalamata olives with it and it took the fruit to another level. Added a savoriness that it may have been lacking and just pushed it up a notch. Like the style, a well-made wine.

I lost my tasting notes but remember a very strong start, almost too strong for this Loire cab franc blend (cot?). Short decant will help. Very intense red fruits & a bit of currant.

Sipability +++ cranberries and bright cherries without being overly tart. A touch of funk. Wonderfully balanced.

A perfect wine for short days and long nights. Subtle. Light. Just enough structure, just enough funk.

Only had a taste but I have a feeling this would have woken up after some time in the glass.
