Le Ponnant Côtes du Rhône Villages

Vintage 2014 / minerals in smell, beautiful warm palate with high acidity. Nice wine indeed

Smells of a recently dried river bed, damp vegetation, and stone.

Deep berry, dark grits, fresh pepper corn. Gripping tannin, only letting go long enough to showcase the refreshing tingly acids.
A good and full mouthfeel.
Open 3 hours, as a Rhône should.
Stocking up on the incredible 15-16 vintages!

Drank whole bottle by myself, very good from start to finish.

Whoa.

highly aromatic; ripe fruit and cherry cola aromas transformed into savory bacon and olive after sitting for 30 minutes. Balanced astringency and good mouthfeel

Excellent depth for a CDR

Medium-deep ruby-purple color.
Aromas of blueberry compote,
Dry. Flavors of ripe blackberry, blueberry, cinnamon, licorice. Medium, chewy tannins.

Intensity: 4/5
Complexity: 2/5
Balance: 4/5
Finish: 4/5

Good inexpensive

Smooth, yummy🍷

3.2. Tasty 2016 red from Cotes du Rhône, dark purple, smooth, but we slightly preferred the Premier Cotes. On sale for $16.99, regularly $19.99.
