2020 Cote Rotie La Madiniere

Opaque magenta. Spice-accented aromas of dark fruit liqueur, licorice and candied violet, with a smoky bacon element building as the wine opens up. Sweet and seamless on the palate, offering juicy blueberry, kirsch and spicecake flavors and a subtle touch of exotic spices. Round, harmonious tannins shape a long, penetrating finish that leaves behind a sappy blue fruit note. 50% new oak.
