Deep ruby. Smoky blackberry, cherry compote and floral pastille scents are complemented by deeper-pitched notes of olive paste and cola. Supple and open-knit, offering pliant black and blue fruit flavors that put on weight with air. The smoke and olive qualities repeat on the very long, broad finish, which is nicely shaped by gentle, harmonious tannins.

Score 91/100 · Drink 2015-2025, Jeb Dunnuck, Wine Advocate, Dec 2014

The 2012 Cote Rotie l'Eglantine has pretty notes of rose petal and sappy flowers intermixed with classic raspberry, pepper and subtle bacon fat. It's medium-bodied, with good concentration, and a tannic, firm finish that begs for more cellar time. Give it another 2-3 years and drink bottles through 2025.

(sourced from vineyards up and down the appellation): Inky ruby. Black raspberry, cassis and Indian spices on the fragrant nose. Lively and expansive, offering taut dark berry flavors and a hint of candied violet. Offers an attractive marriage of richness and finesse, showing no rough edges, sneaky tannins and good finishing clarity.
