Guy Bernard Cote Rotie Cuvee Cote Rozier
Domaine Guy Bernard
France - Rhone Valley - Cote-Rotie AOC

A deep color, an intense and complex nose dominated by notes of small red and black fruits of crushed strawberry and blackcurrant complemented by spices (licorice, cinnamon). On the palate, the wine is amazingly ample and round with beautiful flavors of black cherries, toast and caramel. Powerful and delicate, this Côte Rôtie is already pleasant and promises a good potential to cellar for 5 to 15 years.

vinous logo"Dark violet. Displays intense blueberry and cherry liqueur flavors, along with hints of exotic spices, candied flowers and olive. Round and fleshy but energetic as well, offering sappy black and blue fruit and spicecake flavors that are braced by a core of smoky minerality. The floral note repeats on the gently tannic finish, which lingers with tight focus and resonating spiciness. 25% new oak. - Josh RAYNOLDS"
