2013 Marie et Pierre Benetiere, Cote Rotie, Cordeloux 1x750ml

Vinous 92

Brilliant ruby. Sexy, mineral-accented dark berry and floral pastille scents show excellent clarity and hints of olive and cola. Sweet and energetic on the palate, offering juicy black and blue fruit flavors and zesty cracked pepper and allspice nuances. Shows an impressive blend of power and finesse on a very long, youthfully tannic finish that leaves a lively blueberry note behind. [Josh Raynolds, 03/01/2016]
