"Inky ruby. A powerfully scented bouquet evokes black raspberry, boysenberry, cola, candied licorice and potpourri, with a peppery accent adding vivacity. Stains the palate with sappy black and blue fruit flavors complicated by suggestions of violet pastille and spicecake. Clings impressively on the finish, which is lively, focused and very long. This complex wine shows the richness of the vintage but there's nothing heavy or outsized about it."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Spans the Syrah-driven northern crus of Cote-Rotie and Hermitage and the Grenache-based blends of the warmer south, led by Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Its wines are known for power, spice and warmth.
