A Best Buy |
| TASTING NOTE: The 2015 Cotes du Rhone 100% packs a metaphorical ton of super ripe fruit into its effusive aromas. Black cherries are joined by more savory notes of dark chocolate, leather and spice on the palate, which is full-bodied yet supported by softly dusty tannins. There's just a trace of warmth on the silky-textured finish. Enjoy this lush beauty's ample charms over the next few years. Drink Date: 2017-2020. Score - 90 (Joe Czerwinski, robertparker.com, Oct. 31, 2017) |
