Côte De Brouilly, Beaujolais

Château Thivin

"Reverdon" Brouilly Gamay 2021

Bright garnet color with some periwinkle highlights. Aromas of red and black berry fruit, forest floor, violets and baking spices. Flavors of sour wild strawberries, currants, cherries and plums. Additional flavors of cloves, cardamom along with a distinct mineral note. Slight bit of black pepper on the medium-plus finish. No sign of oak aging. (Concrete?) Bright acidity, medium bodied and ultra soft/silky tannins. Wonderful balance. So cheerful, mellow and easy to drink. Great pairing with a wide array of foods. — 13 days ago

2022- Vintage - I should’ve waited to pop the cork on this wine ( very tight) but nice aromatics floral, raspberry fruit, earthy bramble , medium plus acidity, but really pure , medium tannins will be amazing in 2-4 more years — 20 days ago

So good. Deep, pure, excellent balance and refinement. Great lifting acid and a nice long finish. Gave it 8 hours of air. Just a preview of how nice this will be in several years! — a month ago

Domaine des Terres Dorées (Jean-Paul Brun)

Côte de Brouilly Gamay 2011

This aged Beaujolais is just gorgeous, crushed red berries, minerals, floral, great acidity, long, lingering finish, could easily evolve another 5 years in a cold cellar, truly an outstanding wine from a great Beaujolais vintage!! — 2 months ago

Lovely aged red-fruited old vine Gamay, ripe vintage, but more freshness than many 2009 Beaujolais I’ve had the past few years, lingering finish, very fine! — 13 days ago

@Doug Powers - Are you having issues, as I am, having notes uploaded to the general feed?

@Tom Casagrande, yes I am, for the last few weeks when I post a wine, it seems like it doesn’t show up until the next day in my feed, even though it’s in my account (so to speak)??
