2020 Christophe Pichon Côte-Rôtie Promesse

Dark, shimmering magenta. Vibrant, spice-accented red and blue fruit, incense, vanilla and floral qualities on the perfumed nose. Offers sappy black raspberry, cherry-cola, olive paste, mocha and spicecake flavors that display sharp clarity and take a sweeter turn on the back half. The silky, persistent finish shows fine detail, and smooth, even tannins fold effortlessly into the wine's juicy fruit. 75% new oak.
