2005 Potel Aviron Moulin-a-Vent Vieilles Vignes Cuvee Exceptionelle

Ruby-red. Dark cherry and cassis aromas are underscored by graphite and bitter chocolate, with a slow-building floral quality adding dimension. Then almost shockingly light in body, offering zesty red and dark berry, cherry skin and floral pastille flavors. Tastes like a blend of Burgundy and the northern Rhone, with very good finishing sweetness, minerality and grip. Elegantly styled Beaujolais.
