"The 2019 Côte Rôtie Vires De Serine from Niero showed nicely, with plenty of bright black cherry and black raspberry fruits as well as pepper, flowery incense, and hints of black olive. Medium-bodied, nicely balanced, and lively on the palate, it has a beautiful spine of acidity, terrific balance, and a great finish. I don't think it matches the brilliant 2018, but it's still a remarkable Côte Rôtie that's going to drink nicely for 10-15 years."
