TN: Getting it right

[Florida Jim]

Tomato and carrot soup with cheese toasts:

2005 Terres Dorées (J.P. Brun), Beaujolais Fleurie:

Very fresh nose of black raspberry and cranberry with spice and mineral scents; in the mouth there is ample acidity, solid tannin and deep flavors that follow the nose all in a package that delivers verve and freshness while still showing nuance and authenticity; long, mouth-watering finish. Ample concentration, excellent intensity and that sparkle on the palate that keeps this from being anything but brilliant at each sip; I will save the rest of mine until at least next year but this certainly will be fine in the cellar for several years. Radiant and complete; a superb wine and a joy to drink. 12% alcohol, imported by Louis/Dressner and about $17 on release; under-priced by quite some.

Good with the dish and especially, the cheese toasts. And mighty fine all by itself.

Best, Jim
