"I had not tasted a bottle of the 2011 CĂ´te de Brouilly from Domaine de la VoĂťte des Crozes since the summer of 2013, as this wine was a classically-structured example of the vintage out of the blocks and in need of some bottle age, so I have left the bottles in my cellar untouched since release. Madame Chanrion kindly opened a bottle for our tasting and the wine is starting to blossom very nicely, offering up a fine (and again, quite black fruity) constellation of dark berries, black cherries, a touch of saddle leather, bitter chocolate, lovely soil tones and a topnote of roasted game. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and rock solid at the core, with tangy acids, still a touch of backend tannin perking up the finish and impressive length and grip. Fine juice that is really just starting to drink well and has plenty of life still ahead of it."
