Brutal Wine

Les Vins Pirouettes

Le Brutal de Claude Alsace Riesling Sylvaner 2018

My first brutal!! A little bit earthy on the nose like a light rain but so much smoother than I expected. Such a nice open with cherry and a peppery finish. Great introduction to this natural wine niche. — 4 years ago

Bodega Naranjuez

Brutal Red Blend 2017

A bit too flabby for me, but the fruit is solid—just could have used a bit more acid on the finish to give it some lift. — 5 years ago

Montepeloso

A Quo Toscana Cabernet Sauvignon Sangiovese 2017

Delectable Wine
9.3

The 2017 A Quo is the only wine Montepeloso bottled in a brutal, challenging vintage in which dehydration took with it 40% of the potential crop. All of the best fruit went into the entry-level A Quo, which is positively stellar in 2017. Red cherry jam, mint, cedar and wild flowers are all wonderfully fused together in a sumptuous, racy Bolgheri red that punches well above its weight. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, March 2020)

Cave de Saint-Désirat

Saint-Joseph Syrah 2017

Shone dried leaves black cherry nose. Power tannins! White pepper and menthol more prominent in your trap. Chalky lavendar hints. Pleasingly huge and tight. More brutal, less primary than the 2016, oddly. Down a point as the appeal is less universal even though this is more to my taste. — 5 years ago

Boroli

Barolo DOCG Nebbiolo 2011

Dark red fruit, cocoa and cola with some meaty char and tar, but it’s soft and approachable. A good wash of acid. Tannins have settled down already, providing savoury texture without brutal grip. — 6 years ago

Domaine la Bohème

Brutal Gamay Syrah 2016

Tastes of spiced raspberries and cherries, red currant, but has a spicy heat to it too. Like a slow burn from a jalapeño dipped in your glass. — 6 years ago

Bodega Naranjuez

Brutal!!! Rosado Rosé Blend

Never not loved a brutal. Inky rose. — 6 years ago

Domaine Bories Jefferies

So Brutal!!! Carignan Mourvedre 2014

Es D'Aqui Brutal, very pretty, mousy but enough bright fruit and electric acid to make it enjoyable. Not for everyone and my least fav of Brutals I've tried but still thought provoking and easily drinkable. — 7 years ago
