Domaine Pral
Moulin-à-Vent Gamay
Moulin-à-Vent, Beaujolais, Burgundy, France
Another reminder, as if I need one, as to how superior French wines can be to just about any other place. I dare anyone to find a $20. Bottle of wine anywhere in the new world that has this level of finesse and complexity. Aromas of grilled cherries, charcoal,meats , and iron. Light bodied but full of nuanced facets. Expresses apples, cherries, raspberries, black minerals, iron filings. A true example of how terroir is the essential aspect of great wines.

well balanced and smooth, solid Italian dinner choice

Apr 23rd, 2016Tight the first day. Was expecting it to have sunk, but on the 2nd day it sang like a choir. Gorgeous violet, lavender, and raspberry aromatics. Tense acidity. Softer tannins than I expected for Moulin-a-Vent, but they are more mouth-coating than sharp. Would have 8.8'd the first day, but this opened up marvelously.
