Cuvée des Ambassades Côte de Brouilly Gamay

Firm, dry, blooms w air on day 2. Old school, old world.

In love. Super extracted and spicy, with layers upon layers of intrigue. Melted licorice and green pepper. Blown away. A gem... will follow this producer here-forth.

Straightforward classic Cote de Brouilly. Piercing aromas of crushed rock and crunchy cherry. Dry, lively, minerally, and cleansing in the mouth. Very good acids for a '15. No great depth or complexity, but a nice hot summer day red.

Pitch perfect classic #blindtastethis

A very good value. Nose has jumpy, tangy gamay cherry fruit, a spry feral component, and, of course, granitic minerality. Firm and lively, and fairly light-feeling, it's got ripe fresh fruit and loads of powdered stones in the mouth. Even a tad bit of tannin in the fresh finish. Nice!

great cherrie nose, a bit of VA too, some meaty notes, irony, leather notes in the palate, cedar box, great acid again, licorice. everything well integrated with smooth leathery finish. on a second revisit, very briny notes, too umami

High acid. Sour red fruits, pomegranate, red apple, borderline tropical.

Dried flowers, game / salty blood, and licorice

Really tasty fruity and medium bodied. Lots of cherry,some raspberries and green melon. Even some tobacco or leather tones and a bit of brightness/ acidity. Low alcohol makes it drink well, and paired ok with Indian food.

Always a great drinker. This vintage is a little richer fruit and less of the tang and mineral kick. Delicious.
