Very light red. Complex, incisive scents of fresh red berries, blood orange, allspice and candied rose, lifted by a smoky mineral nuance. Juicy raspberry, cherry and spicecake flavors are accented by a hint of white pepper; bitter orange pith and rhubarb qualities lend refreshing bitterness. Gains depth on the very long, penetrating finish, which features sneaky, fine-grained tannins. Josh Raynolds, Vinous Media

Really tasty fruity and medium bodied. Lots of cherry,some raspberries and green melon. Even some tobacco or leather tones and a bit of brightness/ acidity. Low alcohol makes it drink well, and paired ok with Indian food.

Always a great drinker. This vintage is a little richer fruit and less of the tang and mineral kick. Delicious.

In love. Super extracted and spicy, with layers upon layers of intrigue. Melted licorice and green pepper. Blown away. A gem... will follow this producer here-forth.

Straightforward classic Cote de Brouilly. Piercing aromas of crushed rock and crunchy cherry. Dry, lively, minerally, and cleansing in the mouth. Very good acids for a '15. No great depth or complexity, but a nice hot summer day red.
