Definitely some “natural wine aromatics” coming off of this one. Like Beaujolais, only from Can Franc and Grolleau. Good complexity with fruit and savoriness. For 13% abv I expected a bit more weight. But a fun crushable red.

Held it back for a year and now drinking well for a cheap VdF. Delightful for a light meal.
