True to form, this is intense, aromatic, and spicy on the nose. A telling wave of luscious, roughhewn fruit follows (plum and strawberry), supported by super fine tannins, and plenty of acidity. The finish is a fruit bowl brimming with blackcurrant, blackberry, cherry and plum. Delicious now yet will only improve with a few years cellaring. 2024-2026–MP
Chateau de Durette Les Gimarets AOP Moulin a Vent
Think more of Beaujolais!! A refined nose of boysenberry and freshly-baked bread. The palate shines with a generous dollop of red fruits (raspberry, red cherry, cranberry) and wet stone. Carefully judged acidity lifts this beyond a simple fruit bomb and provides freshness. The tannins are also beautifully aligned, with a silky edge that gives an unexpected parting shot to this fine Beaujolais. 2024-2026–MP
