2017 Marie et Pierre Benetiere, Cote Rotie, Cordeloux 1x750ml

Vinous 88

Bright ruby. Spice- and herb-accented red and blue fruits and a cured meat quality on the pungent nose. In a taut, nervy style, offering bitter cherry, redcurrant, smoked meat and green olive flavors that show a bit of weediness and a cracked pepper flourish. Dusty tannins add grip to the firm finish, which echoes the cherry and herb notes. [Josh Raynolds, 12/22/2022]
