2020 Cote Rotie La Viaillere

Glistening ruby. A highly perfumed nose evokes an array of fresh, mineral-accented red and dark fruits, exotic spices and pungent flowers, along with suggestions of olive and incense. Offers palate-staining and energetic cherry, cassis and floral pastille flavors that show superb energy and a smoky mineral quality that builds with air. Finishes on a youthfully tannic note, with lingering sweetness, spice and dark berry notes.
