TASTING NOTE: Notes of smoked earth, peppery herbs and dark fruits define the 2015 Côtes du Rhône les Portes du Castellas, and it's medium-bodied, plump, rounded and supple on the palate, yet with plenty of underlying tannic grip. It's a beautiful Côtes du Rhône to drink over the coming 3-5 years. Drink Date: 2016-2021. Score - 90 (Jeb Dunnuck, robertparker.com, Dec. 30, 2016) Price $ 15.95
