For an inexpensive introduction to the style of Andre Brunel (who physically resembles the superb actor, William Hurt), there is his 1990 Cotes du Rhone Domaine Andre Brunel. This robust, richly fruity, deeply colored wine offers a big, peppery, spicy, black fruit-scented nose, lusciously soft, yet structured flavors, and plenty of guts and flesh in its long finish. It should provide delicious drinking over the next 4-5 years. Importer: Robert Kacher Selections, Washington, DC.
