2012. Drier, more savory overall. I dig the Lapalu style. Equal parts earth, berry, spice and freshness.

Pretty tight would love to see it age, too bad I'm super impatient.

Earthy, more Rhone-like, really nice though, a mellow wine

2012, Jean-Claude Lapalu, Côte De Brouilly, Gamay. Cinnamon, black pepper, Herbs de Peovence, Tart cherry, cranberry and a little earthiness on the finish. I always get cinnamon from Brouilly, but not from the other Cru. Adds an extra dimension that I like.
