VIDAL-FLEURY
Côte Rôtie La Chatillonne 2016
- 96 points -
This intensely perfumed blend of 88% Syrah and 12% Viognier boasts sultry cassis aromas marked by bramble, black pepper, smoke and vanilla. Lavishly textured and rich, it's a hedonistic sip, with concentrated black-cherry flavors. Zesty acidity and fine-grained, gripping tannins add structure. Irresistible now for its luscious, primary fruit, it likely will develop earth and mineral intensity through 2035 and hold further still.
