Note di degustazione
Deep ruby. Powerful dark berry, licorice and lavender pastille scents are enlivened by suggestions of smoky minerals and peppery spices. Broad, sweet and fleshy, offering concentrated blackberry and boysenberry flavors that tighten up slowly on the back half. Smoothly plays power off finesse and finishes juicy and long; smooth tannins make a late appearance and add grip.

Already in bottle, the 2014 Côtes du Rhône Cairanne Cuvee Maximilien is another rock solid release from this estate (which should be no surprise from anyone that follows The Wine Advocate). Made from 50% Grenache, 35% Mourvèdre and the balance Syrah, completely destemmed and aged all in tank (it sees no wood whatsoever), it has terrific ripeness in its black fruits, licorice, pepper and earthy/underbrush-like aromas and flavors. These give way to a medium to full-bodied, textured, beautifully concentrated and charming southern Rhone shows the vintage’s forward style and will drink well for 5-6 years.
