From one of Georges Duboeuf’s most consistent producers, the 2005 Brouilly Domaine de Combillaty is another in a long string of successes for this vigneron. Its wonderful red and black cherry aromas lead to a medium to full-bodied core of sweet, plush, intensely expressive fruit. Red Cherries, roses, and raspberries are found in this seductive effort’s pure and complex character. It is wonderfully concentrated, fresh, deep, and long in the finish. Projected maturity: now-2014. Importer: William Deutsch and Sons, White Plains, NY; tel (914) 251-9463.
