Mountain Road 2000 Gamay

I had Russian food again for dinner and decided to open the Gamay for a nice change. I bought this wine on a whim, knowing that was probably not going to set my world on fire. I was right.

The wine is not very complex but it has a nice deep red colour and does exhibit some legs. Tastes of sour cherry and some earthy tones, but not much else. The sour cherry follows through the finish, which is long and not completely pleasant. A bit too much acidity and nothing to balance.
