[TN] '05 Descombes Brouilly

Tonight, Jean came home in a bad mood and feeling lousy, so down to the cellar for some red wine to lift her spirits.

2005 Georges Descombes Brouilly nose: meaty, verging on Band-Aid, raspberry fruit palate: medium body, deep fruit, rich mouthfeel, bright acidity

Dale, I misspoke recently when mentioning this wine (brought back from Paris). I can see why Lyle Fass likened it to a Vosne-Romanee in his blog: it's got the weight and fruit profile. But the fruit is still recognizably Gamay and the tannins are soft enough that I didn't regret opening it now. Will it get better? Dunno, but it's lovely now.
