...gorgeous blackberry and black raspberry fruits as well as scorched earth, flowers, and peppery herbs. This beauty is full-bodied, has a seamless, elegant texture and incredible length, and is just magical stuff.
...complex notes of violets, mixed berries and delicate dried herb nuances on the nose. It's quite floral, yet there's a concentrated, full-bodied core of fruit that's neither dense nor muscular, but silky and lush...long, tannic-yet-silky finish.
Powerful, expansive aromas of cassis, black raspberry, exotic spices and candied licorice are complemented by a smoky mineral nuance and a hint of botanical herbs. Chewy and appealingly sweet, offering concentrated dark berry and cherry preserve, floral pastille and fruitcake flavors that show impressive energy for their heft. Finishes impressively long and minerally, with well-judged tannins and building florality.
Plenty of smoke, leather and pepper on the nose of this youthful Cote-Rotie. The fresh and focused palate is driven by concentrated, racy tannins that provide so much drive and energy. Great black-fruit and wet-stone character on the very long, bright finish.
All sandalwood and smoke – lots of vibrant plummy kirsch notes on the palate and soft fresh acidity – there is lots of florality waiting to come through here. Attractive style and finishes with a clove-spice-infused kick.
