2014 Cote Rotie Barbarine

Inky ruby. A highly perfumed, expansive bouquet evokes dark fruits, incense and olive, and a sexy floral nuance adds complexity. Broad, seamless and appealingly sweet in the mouth, offering intense blueberry and black raspberry flavors that fan out steadily on the back half. Candied violet and star anise nuances come up on a very long, sappy finish that's given shape by smooth tannins.
