Château Thivin
Cuvée Godefroy Côte de Brouilly Gamay
Côte de Brouilly, Beaujolais, Burgundy, France
This wine is a high school kid who's a consensus number 1 draft pick. So young, raw, and talented. I like my Gamay young but this needs at least two years. Deep, richly extracted crunchy Gamay fruit and freshly cracked stones in the nose. In the mouth it's an MMA fight between tangy, crunchy, incredibly deep fruit, mouth-watering acids, and minerals. Long long saliva inducing finish. Great right now for its raw materials, but I really shouldn't have opened this until 2018 at least.
HT to Lyle Fass for bringing this rare cuvée in.

90-100 year old vines here. Deep, yet muted nose. Epic length. Juicy as all can be. Long. A wow wine. A monument to the vintage.
