Château des Tours
Brouilly Gamay
Brouilly, Beaujolais, Burgundy, France
Medium ruby in color; black cherries, hibiscus, and dried leaves on the nose; medium plus acidity; medium minus tannins; tastes like pomegranates, violets (I think), and wet slate with a medium finish. Not bad.

I have never been disappointed by a Cru Beaujolais, though I admit the first day this #brouilly was closed and a touch unbalanced on the tart side. Wine fridge +1 day and it’s expressed itself pleasantly. Cooked raspberry, lighter cherry nose, lovely acid-forward balance with more pronounced fruit on the second day, understated mineral notes. Good decision to buy 3 bottles at less than $20 each @ #costcowines
