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

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. Drink now through 2009. 665 cases made. PM
