This is a vintage Billecart with more-than-usual upside

This is already good and is potentially excellent

I suspect that this will flesh out and unwind with a few years of bottle age

but there is something about the wine's raciness and immediacy that makes it a pure pleasure to taste today

As one might reasonably expect this is notably more elegant than the old vines Gevrey with its ripe but cool and airy array of essence of black cherry

Brusset, Cotes Du Rhone Cairanne Cuvee Hommage Andre Brusse other_regions_australia This is a vintage BillecartA winner. Dark and deep, complex, full bodied and supple textured. Tobacco, spice, smoke and plum, with a mineral touch. With its ripe fruit, sweet tannins and black color, here is a wonderful Cairanne. The finish remains velvety a sign of greatness.
