| TASTING NOTE: There's a spicy, green peppercorn edge to the 2016 Cotes du Rhone Vieilles Vignes. It's medium to full-bodied, with svelte, supple tannins and plenty of plummy fruit that exhibits more savory notes and spice on the long finish. Drink date: 2018-2025. Score - 90 (Joe Czerwinski, robertparker.com, Oct. 31, 2018) |
