Côte Rôtie Cote Brune 2016
Inky ruby. An assertively perfumed bouquet evokes fresh black/blue fruits, star anise, olive, potpourri and licorice. A smoky mineral accent builds steadily in the glass. Sweet and penetrating on the palate, offering vibrant, spice-laced dark berry liqueur, smoky bacon and floral pastille flavors that are firmed by a core of juicy acidity. Clings with superb tenacity on the youthfully tannic finish, leaving behind sappy blue fruit, floral and mineral notes.
