The 2016 Cote de Brouilly has a more introverted bouquet compared to the three Brouilly 2016s, with notes of blackcurrant, briary, a hint of marmalade and fig emerging with time. The palate is well balanced with a gentle but insistent grip in the mouth and fine delineation with a soupçon of sour cherry enlivening the finish. Excellent.
