Beaujolais Cote de Brouilly
-- John Gilman: The 2012 Côte de Brouilly from Jean-Paul Brun is a lovely example of the vintage and will be an excellent drink in the fullness of time, but it is very tight out of the blocks and will demand some bottle age to blossom. The bouquet is quite pure and classic, offering up complex mix of cranberries, cherries, a touch of gamebird, walnuts, roses, just a hint of vinesmoke and stony soil tones. On the palate the wine is clean, full-bodied, complex and tightly-knit, with a good core, lovely transparency, moderate tannins and very good length and grip on the nascently complex finish. This should prove to be one of the best wines from Monsieur Brun in 2012, but I would tuck it away for the next three years before starting to pull corks. 90/100
