| LA SOURCE CÔTES DU RHÔNE 2015 AC |
| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
COURTOIS |
| Deep intense purple colour. Spicy, reductive, rubber hose nose with some baked plum-cherry notes and a touch of mocha-chocolate. Dry, medium bodied, tangy, high acid, spicy, baked plum-cherry flavours with a somewhat reductive finish. This actual blend of 80% Grenache and 20% Syrah has 14.5% alcohol and 2 g/L residual sugar. Beware of the tasting note quoted in the Vintages Catalogue. The 91-point tasting note by Jeb Dunnuck dated December 30, 2016 has the wrong proportion of grapes in this blend. |

| TASTING NOTE: ... The 2015 Côtes du Rhône la Source is a full-bodied, ripe and beautifully fruited effort. It has fabulous purity, lots of black cherry, currants, peppery herbs and licorice aromas and flavors, and full-bodied richness that never comes across as heavy or cumbersome. Made from 85% Grenache and 15% Syrah, from a higher elevation parcel (I'm guessing near Vinsobres), destemmed and aged in stainless steel, it's a smoking value! Score - 91 (Jeb Dunnuck, robertparker.com, Dec. 30, 2016) |
