Château Thivin
Cuvée Zaccharie Côte de Brouilly Gamay
This wine is revelatory. I have not had a Beaujolais that has aged so well or taken on such a unique character. The intense, ripe, tangy Gamay fruit is there, but is both mellowed a bit and conversely is very intense. Also, of course, loads of crushed granite. In the mouth, it has more of a Bordeaux or Burgundy mouthfeel, not hard crunchy Beaujolais. Great acidity and length. Wonderful purity.

Just a massive aromatic spectrum. Palate just slays. Super elegant and ripe with depth, admirable power and structure and undeniable freshness. Sweet fruit and such refinement. A bit more closed than my last bottle out of the gates but only needs 30 minutes to get going.
