Medium Ruby red color with aromas of red fruits, floral and spice notes. On the palate flavors of cherry and plum with notes of cacao, oak and spice. Fine tannins, medium+ savory finish, ending with fruit, spice and slight earthy notes. Nice!

2014. Well done. Well kept. True Gamay. Dry. Balanced. Dark rose petal, some dark cherry. Great with sharp cheese and fatty meats.

Medium ruby aromas of iodine, dried rose petals, & garrigue. Medium acidity with a fruit character that matches nose plus gamey quality. Very tasty. Character: Daniel Day Lewis in Last of the Mohicans

Tannins big but more fine grained than the morgons. Lean.

Dense and smooth but flavors fall apart on the finish.
