Tonight, we had a light dinner of soup and salad, with which we opened:

2005 Clos Roche Blanche Gamay (Touraine)
nose: tart Gamay fruit, underbrush
palate: good acidity, dark fruit, herbal/leafy notes

Finally, I have to disagree with Dale: I love this Gamay from the Loire.
It had the brightness and cheer of Beaujolais with an added herbal note
I often get from Loire reds. Altogether enjoyable, and we've saved a
half bottle to see how it develops.
