Great Brouilly - lively and bright on the entry, smooth and silky from there leaving beautiful soft red berry notes and a tangy freshness in its path. Nice!

Bright, juicy and floral. A bit of CO2. Just very much lacking depth and complexity.

The middle of this wine is the part to catch. It starts fast with fresh, tasty red fruit & ends on a dry acidic lingering note which makes you want to dive back in quickly. The middle with all the nuance is the slower part & draws you all the way in. Like the Largo in Vivaldi's Winter. Just delightful.

Complex red fruit, bananas, granite, whisper of oak spice, kitsch. Well made.

Less aromatic but more sense than the cote du brouilly... Still very delicious and lots of raspberry bramble freshness.
