Blind tasting. Brief note.Quite backwards and structured upfront with grainy tannins and racy acidity. Nose isn't giving up much right now with the palate showing blackberry, black cherry, medicinal red cherry/robitussin, purple florals and granite. Midpalate is a bit thin and watery considering the structure. Finish is medium (-) and overwhelmed by the tannins for now.

tasted blind. reportedly kept in a car trunk for several days in airport parking -- may have accelerated some of its development. Dark violet/cloudy color. Nose juicy, candied, grapey. Palate candied grapes, light honey. Guessed beaujolais, still drinking well but perhaps could have had more acidity/depth. 91 pts

Cru Beaujolais Tasting - Exploring all the Crus (New York, NY): #17 of 21 wines tasted. The first of 3 Cote de Brouillys. This one seemed to be past its prime with very little fruit left, not too lively or much going on here - suspect this was not meant to age more than 5 years. The group voted 0 pennies for this wine.

Idem aux notes précédentes. Une touche plus fondu encore.
