Moulin-à-Vent, Beaujolais, Burgundy, France
Medicinal and a bit hot at 14%. Crunchy cherry cough drop and pomegranate. Fruit a bit covered up by funk and star anise.
A great wine for the brett battle, and for me tips a bit too heavy in that direction. Perhaps just needs more time as many of these crus require.

Opulent and focused at the same time... bright berry nose with cherry and cassis and creme de violet, but also wet river rocks, rose perfume, such a pure expression of fruit and minerals on the palate. Beautiful acidity and the gentlest of velvety tannins. Beautifully composed, delicate and fascinating. Drinking so well right now but should have the structure and delicacy to improve with bottle age.

Old Gamay vines add length and complexity to an very decent Moulin à Vent. This has aged well.

Bought this in Seattle at a great wine shop, clean structured lithe Stoney with cherry reduction. Some herbal and floral aspects always interesting on every sip. Very clean refreshing finish
