2014 Cote Rotie Le Gallet Blanc

Lurid ruby. Mineral-accented aromas of fresh dark berries, pungent flowers and five-spice powder. Juicy and taut on the palate, offering spicy blackberry and violet pastille flavors complemented by a touch of smokiness. Puts on weight with air while maintaining energy and focus, and finishes bright, silky and very long, with excellent clarity, harmonious tannins and repeating spiciness.
