Inky ruby. Smoky dark berries, allspice and licorice on the highly pungent, smoke- and mineral-accented nose. Displays impressive depth as well as energy to the sweet black and blue fruit flavors and picks up a sexy floral quality with aeration. Shows excellent focus and mineral lift on the youthfully tannic and very persistent finish, which features suggestions of bitter chocolate and candied violet.(Josh Raynolds, Vinous, Apr 2017)

Very nice Cote-Rotie. Would love to try it in a few years. With a long decant and at cellar temp still quite accessible. Balanced with light acid and medium tannins. Vegetal in a nice way. Tasty.

Whew! Huge heat and massive spice and fruit here. Black fruit, stone fruit, violets - the works. Fruit is big but elegant, some balsamic flavors permeate, with pepper and a huge crunchy texture at the finish. Classic Faury, albeit on steroids.
