Vivid purple. Spice- and smoke-accented red and dark berry preserve aromas are complemented by a suave floral nuance that builds as the wine opens up. Juicy, seamless and light on its feet; a minerally note adds spicy lift to sweet black raspberry, cherry and violet pastille flavors. Finishes supple and very long, with harmonious tannins adding gentle grip and shape to lingering dark fruit and spice notes. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, September 2019)

Dec 25th, 2015A truly lovely Cote Rotie.
Needs 5-6 hours of decanting to show the purity of black paired with cool black granite minerality.
Beautiful mouthfeel, with firm yet velvety tannins, amazing purity of petit and great depth.
Drinking beautifully and quite serious at the same time. Delicious stuff.
