Vieilles Vignes Moulin-à-Vent Gamay

A little more generous than previous bottles.

Reductive. Not as delicious as hoped.

Carbonique. More than a little Brett. Not quite clean but nice enough drink. Gassy. Won’t be stable.

Red fruit, fresh, nice acidity, a Burgundian style Bojo, nice. 89-90

Fruits rouges, très frais avec une belle acidité, un Bojo à la Bourguignonne, très bien.

This has a lot of potential and better on day 2, but needs years, not days to really open up. It’s pretty closed. Darker and more brooding.

Great big violets, cherries and blueberries. Has the tension of a heavier spatburgunder. Tannins are fine grained and integrated. So many flowers, lots of perfume. Happy making juice here. Not simple, depth of flavor, good balance, enough tannins to have a long finish. Good stuff.
