Southern Rh\u00f4ne, I have neglected you.<\/p>\n

We used to be good friends.<\/p>\n

When I first got into wine you used to give me a lot of pleasure. Vieux Telegraphe and Beaucastel, in particular, were happy wines for me.<\/p>\n

But then you started getting all spoofy on me. You chased points, you got rich, you started driving expensive cars, and we drifted apart. It’s a shame, because your Grenache-based wines can be fabulous, when they’re made in an elegant, complex, detailed style.<\/p>\n

I liked this wine, which I drank over three nights, which helped allay my suspicions that it might be a bit too glossy for its own good. I remember Brusset from the old days.<\/p>\n

Domaine Brusset Les Hauts de Monmirail Gigondas 2012 Southern Rh\u00f4ne, France<\/strong>
\n14% alcohol. Sweet, enticing, lush blackberry and raspberry fruit is the key theme for this striking wine. Sweet and pure with lovely supple, ripe, focused fruit. Fresh juicy berry fruits nd a bit of grip on the finish, and nice pepper, herb and liqourice complexity, too. Will need some time to show its best, although it is already delicious. 93\/100 (\u00a329.50 Great Western Wine)<\/p>\n
