A little closer on each: Tonight's bottle is the 2007 Bereziat Brouilly. Lots of pepper on the nose. Very light, but not insubstantial. This is not the cheap Beaujolais you drink for Thanksgiving. I like this very much. Pretty hot on the back end and the finish is not particularly long. But this is a refreshing light drinker and is priced accordingly ($16).

I might well have another 07 Purple Pachyderm PN to celebrate (mourn) my post count tonight.
