Very green tasting upon opening but greatly benefited from an hour of decanting. However, it did not measure up to Lenswood Hills Pinot Noir 2010 from Adelaide Hills as well, which was way better. Tasted March 2013.

Jean Paul Brun Terres Dorées Côte De Brouilly 2010 Bottle
Jean Paul Brun Terres Dorées Côte De Brouilly 2010
Beaujolais, France
$18.95

Nice earthy wine that opened up after decanting a bit. However, it was quite challenging to reconcile the demands of chilling Beaujolais to 13 degrees and decanting enough without losing this optimal temperature. Very happy with the result though... Tasted July 2013.

Shottesbrooke Cabernet Sauvignon 2010, Mclaren Vale, South Australia Bottle
Shottesbrooke Cabernet Sauvignon 2010, Mclaren Vale, South Australia
South Australia, Australia
$21.95

Nice Cabernet-Sauvignon, but I would agree with another reviewer that it is still a bit young. However, it really benefited from a good hour of decanting. Felt medium-body upon opening and edged to full bodied after an hour of decanting. Tasted October 2012.
