Really nice - dry, opened after half hour - light-medium wine, raspberry, red currant and plum, minimal oak (good thing), though too much acid keeps this from being far better. Time in bottle will help and would be better with charcuterie to temper the acid.

Very special. Gamay treated with the respect of a more "noble" variety. One of the best expressions of this grape I've had the pleasure of tasting, new world or old.
