~$14US, 100% Gamay Noir, Chenas, Cru Beaujolais, France
Ruby color. Pencils and crayons and cherries. Zesty acidity but a lovely round ripeness to the fruit. Complexity via herbal notes in the finish - sage and thyme, with a little woody asparagus. Medium bodied an edge of firm tannins to close the deal. A very fine Chenas with at least 2 more years of upside potential.
