Very pure smelling and tasting but lacking concentration enough even for a Beaujolais. Bright, crystalline deep ruby color. Light intensity nose: cherries and clean, cracked rocks are discernable, but you have to sniff with some focus to get it. Nice attack of pure hard cherry candy fruit and loads of stony minerals, but they're evanescent, disappearing quickly. Some tannins remain in the mouth, and the wine has nice freshness, but the flavors bolt for the exit too fast. Disappointing. C+. Imported by Neal Rosenthal, I think I got this at Houston Wine Merchant a few months ago (before I moved to Virginia). I think it was around $25, so it was decidedly not a good value.
