Beautiful deep colour, nose of black fruit, spices, very light oak, full and tonic palate, powerful tannins but already well blended, blackcurrant and morello cherry, chocolate and praline, length and freshness. Astonishing: The quintessence of Auvergne, surely! The quintessence of Gamay! Probably! Blind tasting, it's hard to tell where you are?
The freshness of the north, the power of a southern wine. We're in the French Piedmont ..... A wine to be adopted without hesitation!
