This Cotes du Rhone Villages was very elegant and flavorful.Eye: Dark ruby garnet color.
Nose: Sultry nose of deep-toned ripe red and black berries, smoke, and lots of stony minerals.
Mouth: Broadly-flavored and mouthfilling, with lots of soft, mouth-coating tannins and long, rich flavors of cassis, blackberry, subtle iodine, and deep herbal notes. Long finish transitions from deep fruit to minerals. Very civilized, mature, and balanced.
Score: 90.
Cellar or drink? At its peak, drink this over the next year.
Price/store: $16 and change at Spec's on Smith.
