Château de La Chaize
Brouilly Gamay
Brouilly, Beaujolais, Burgundy, France
Ruby with aromas of red berry fruits and spice notes. On the palate flavors of ripe cherry and raspberry with dried flower and baking spice. Fine soft tannins on medium(+) finish ending with a fruit character, ok to chill slightly before enjoying.

I must admit here a new handicap, which appears to be my lingering symptoms post COVID including degraded sense of smell & taste. It’s as if all my senses have a fine gauze, filtering out the full spectrum of flavor & aroma. So in the meantime, I realized that my post impression of recent wines is a sameness of taste. So perhaps best not to score at all? Just written notes? Ah, the horns of the dilemma. As much as this Beaujolais cru is decent & properly buoyant with fresh cherries & cut strawberries, medium plus acidity & broad mouthfeel, my sense is I would give it the same score regardless. So this score remains. It also gets kudos for ringing under 17$- a rarity these days.

I really enjoyed this wine. Light but with a nice smooth but dry finish
