Where do I begin? This is a sensational offering from the Southern Cotes Du Rhone and features an evolving bouquet of spice, earth, pepper, black currant, plum, lilac and anise.  The palate beautifully reiterates the bouquet while keeping a flawless balance of fierce, grippy tannins and sharp acidity. It finishes long and the taste lingers for quite some time.  A masterpiece! A certified Mike’s Must Have! I would save this gem for anywhere from 5-7 years and drink with hearty beef stew or other gamey dishes.
