A Best Buy |
| TASTING NOTE: From the oldest Cotes du Rhone vineyard of the estate and harvested two to three weeks after the Premieres Cotes, the 2014 Cotes du Rhone Villages le Ponnant has lots of melted licorice, black cherry and peppery herbs in its medium to full-bodied, elegant, yet textured profile. Drink this Chateauneuf du Pape look-alike on release and over the following 7-8 years. Score - 90-92 (Jeb Dunnuck, robertparker.com, Dec. 27, 2015) |
