"The 2018 Brouilly from Georges Descombes is a very pretty and expressive wine, with a bit more mid-palate stuffing and overall ripeness of personality than one would find here in most vintages, but no shortage of charm. The bright and red fruity bouquet jumps from the glass in a mix of cherries, sweet cranberries, vinesmoke, gamebird, lovely soil tones and a topnote of freshpicked thyme. On the palate the wine is vibrant, full-bodied and beautifully transparent, with plenty of red fruit at the core, tangy acids and just a wisp of backend tannin perking up the long and complex finish. Fine juice. 2020-2030+. "
