Would easily call this an developed Beaujolais given the lightness and acidity of the wine. Drinks much younger than the vintage though. Would never guess this was a 2006. New discovery and lots of fun packed into this bottle!!!

2006 vintage. Feral, funky and a bit volatile on opening. Seems a bit reduced. With air the reduction blows off revealing an interesting cinnamon scent with tea and forest floor scents and Flavors. Good acid and a bit of grippy tannins. The fruit is in hiding. On the second day this turns smoky and soft with a bit of blue fruit. On this third night the fruit is fading and the wine is smoky with a slightly sour and green finish. Drink up. Interesting and evolving but not a lot of pleasure here.
