2018 Domaine Faury Côte-Rôtie

Saturated ruby. Powerful aromas of fresh blackberry, boysenberry, licorice and smoky minerals, along with a hint of sandalwood. Deeply concentrated and appealingly sweet, offering palate-staining dark berry preserve, licorice, bitter chocolate and violet pastille flavors and a touch of exotic spices that emerges with air. Finishes broad, supple and impressively long, with steadily building tannins and resonating florality. Made with 60% whole clusters.
