Displays vibrant, mineral-accented black raspberry and cherry scents that are complemented by suggestions of olive, cracked pepper and violet. Juicy and focused on the palate, offering energetic red and blue fruit flavors that deepen and turn spicier with aeration. In a distinctly nervy style, finishing long and spicy, with discreet tannins and a repeating cherry note.
Lots black pepper, savory and leather aromas complement the restrained black fruit on the nose. Medium to full body with good focus on the well-structured palate make this a good introduction to Cote-Rotie. Crisp, dry finish, but already accessible.
